Abstract. This work addresses a method for preparing magnetic crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-chitosan (CS) microspheres (BMM) specifically tailored/functionalised to bind blood toxins, optimization of the synthesis parameters and characterization of the products. Some experiments concerning the BMM dispersability in aqueous/ethylic alcohol-water media, using different surfactant systems have been made.
Key words: magnetic particles, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-chitosan (CS) microspheres
