In this study, chitosan microspheres and sponges were prepared and characterized for diverse biomedical applications successfully. The chitosan microspheres were obtained with a "suspension crosslinking technique" in the size range of 30 -700 m. The stirring rate of the suspension medium and the chi

Abstract
A straightforward method to synthesize quasi‐monodisperse gold microspheres from a commercial gold plating solution is reported. The size and the surface roughness of the obtained particles can easily be tuned. In particular, raspberry‐like particles with a high active surface area are obtained. The microspheres are assembled on indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes using the layer‐by‐layer technique and the overall electroactive surface area is increased, as characterized by cyclic voltammetry. The as‐prepared products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD), cyclic voltammetry, and light microscopy.
