kappa-Carrageenan hydrogel nanocomposites with release behavior mediated by morphological distinct Au nanofillers

In this work we investigate the effect of spherical and rod-shaped Au nanoparticles (NPs) in the microstructure, thermomechanical and release properties of thermosensitive K-carrageenan hydrogels. Thermal and mechanical analyses of the composites revealed that the Au NPs reinforce the structure of t...
