Κ-carrageenan/chitosan nanolayered coating for controlled release of a model bioactive compound

Multilayer nanocoatings composed of K-carrageenan, a sulphated anionic polysaccharide, and chitosan, a cationic polysaccharide, were produced by layer-by-layer deposition. The model cationic compound Methylene Blue (MB) was incorporated in different positions of the nanolayered coating and its loadi...
