| Abstract | Chitosan microgels were prepared by a spray-drying method using glutaraldehyde (GA) as a cross-linker. Two kinds of microgels, so-called soft microgel and hard microgel, were prepared using a chitosan to GA ratio of 1: 0.08, and 1: 0.67, respectively. The surfaces of hard microgels were more even that those of soft microgels. The swelling ratio, a measure of degree of swelling, of the soft microgel was pH-sensitive, and it decreased from 1,765% to 1,230%, when the pH increased from 4.0 to 9.0. The deprotonation of amino groups of chitosan could account for the decrease in swelling ratio. The swelling ratio of hard microgels was almost invariable in response to pH change (4.0 to 9.0), and it was much less than that of soft microgels, possibly due to the high cross-linking density. The degree of release from the soft microgels decreased from 65% to 12% when the pH of medium increased from 4.0 to 6.0. FITC-dextran would readily diffuse out of the microgel, possibly due to the larger meshes of the microgels in a strong acidic condition (e.g., pH 4.0). However, the degree of release increased from 12% to 82% when the pH of medium increased from 6.0 to 9.0. In this pH range, the fluorescence dye is believed to be released mainly by a squeezing-out. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
