Porous chitosan-based nanocomposites containing gold nanoparticles. Increasing the catalytic performance through film porosity

The preparation of porous and non-porous chitosan thin-films containing gold nanoparticles was carried out, aiming to evaluate the effect of porosity on their catalytic response using the p-nitrophenol reduction as model reaction. To achieve this, both types of samples were decorated with gold nanop...
