STARCH/PVA ELECTROSPUN NANOSCAFFOLDS EMBEDDED WITH ULTRASONIC-ASSISTED GREEN SYNTHESIS OF CuO NANOPARTICLES FROM Chondracanthus exasperatus (RED MARINE MACROALGAE) EXTRACT: PHYSIOCHEMICAL AND ANTIMICROBIAL EVALUATION
This study explored the green synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) using Chondracanthus exasperatus algal extract and their incorporation into starch/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) electrospun nanoscaffolds for antimicrobial applications. Ultrasonic-assisted extraction facilitated the efficient release of phytoch...
