A systematic study of the interaction between free anionic gold nanoparticles and chitosan in a solution is presented. A spectroscopic study of the interaction between 10 nm gold nanoparticles and low molecular weight chitosan is reported as a function of the concentration and pH of the polymer in a solution. Zeta potential measurements and TEM images indicate the effective aggregation of the nanoparticles in the presence of chitosan. At the same time, anionic gold nanoparticles act as crosslink agents to form chitosan nanocapsules with an average molecular size of 260 nm. The changes of the surface plasmon band due to the adsorption of the polymer on the nanoparticle surface allow using of the citrate gold nanoparticles as sensors of the polymer for analytical purposes. The limit of detection for chitosan biopolymer is 69 nM. The optimum pH for the interaction between the biopolymer and the nanoparticles is found at a value of 6.4, obtained from spectrophotometric measurements and applying a deconvolution analysis of the experimental data. A simple model based on molecular surface electrostatic interactions is proposed to understand the pH dependence of the investigated system. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
