Composite nanoparticles derived by self-assembling of hydrophobic polysaccharide derivatives and lignin

Abstract Composite nanoparticles (NPs) consisting of lignin and different polysaccharide (PS) derivatives were prepared. In this synergistic approach, the PS derivative acts as biocompatible matrix that forms spherical NPs while is a functional compound with therapeutic potential (e.g., antioxidative, antimicrobial, antiviral). Organosolv three (cellulose acetate/CA, cellulose acetate phthalate/CAPh, xylan phenyl carbonate/XPC) used in study. Nanocomposites particle sizes range about 200–550 nm containing both types biopolymers are accessible by dialysis organic PS/lignin solutions against water. particular, XPC CAPh, which contain aromatic substituents, found to be suitable for incorporation within nanomatrix. The present work paves way future studies pharmaceutical biocompatibility composite tailored properties investigated.
