Eugenol-Enriched Alginate/Graphene Oxide Composites Crosslinked with Ba²⁺ and Fe³⁺: Synthesis and Structural Evaluation
This study demonstrates the successful fabrication of eugenol-enriched alginate/graphene oxide composites crosslinked with Ba²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions, which exhibit synergistic mechanical stability, pH-responsive swelling behavior, and enhanced surface porosity suitable for the controlled delivery of hydrophobic bioactive compounds.
