Abstract:
The aim of this work was to synthesize and characterize cellulose microspheres with a particle size below 5 μm and narrow
size distribution. After activation and functionalization with antibodies, these particles shall be applied as adsorbents
in suspension-based extracorporeal blood purification systems, such as the Microspheres-Based Detoxification System. In the
frame of this work such microspheres were developed and synthesized with reproducible properties. Besides using well-established
methods for characterization of this kind of bead cellulose, additional procedures for the examination of its properties were
developed and applied.
