Synthesis and Characterization of Curcumin-Chitosan Loaded Gold Nanoparticles by Oryctes rhinoceros’ Chitin for Cosmeceutical Application by Zainol Abidin, Nurul Alyani, Kormin, Faridah, Zainol Abidin, Nurul Akhma, Abu Bakar, Mohd Fadzelly, Moujdin, Iqbal Ahmed

“…Chitosan was isolated from O. rhinoceros and CCG-NPs were successfully synthesized at 70 ◦C for 60 min under optimal conditions of a reactant ratio of 2:0.5 (0.5 mM HAuCl4 : 0.1% curcumin). Characterizations of CCG-NP involved FTIR analysis, zeta potential, morphological properties determination by FE-SEM, particle size analysis, crystallinity study by XRD, and elemental analysis by EDX. …”

Fabrication of natural and bio-based wound healing material from alginate and beeswax by Shuban, Farah Syahidah, Idris, Maizlinda Izwana

“…SEM images showed smooth surfaces for films of 1 wt% and 2 wt% SA with 0 g beeswax and rough surfaces with beeswax particles for films of 1 wt% and 2 wt% SA with 1-5 g beeswax. AFM results revealed that the surface roughness of alginate and beeswax films increased with an increasing amount of beeswax and film of 2 wt% SA with 5 g beeswax recorded the highest surface roughness value. …”
