This study was aimed to produce a novel nanocomposite with appropriate properties to apply in biomedical researches. MgO was used as a control sample in the experiments. A series of Mg1-xZnxO nanoparticles with x = 0.01 and 0.03, were prepared by the sol-gel method and added to k-carrageenan/NaCMC t...
