Chitosan is cat-ionic in nature mostly interact with anionic nature surfactants like TPP, AAP etc. they perform well, want to know some other surfactant show some good results with chitosan nanoparticles
Brij 58 will may be good option because of long polyoxyethylene (POE) chain and nonpolar head group that minimise mutual electrostatic repulsion between the same charged head group of surfactant. it also facilitate micellization at much low cmc value.
The other advantage is the lower toxicity and biodegradability nature of it
