AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for preparing nano-starch suspensions are limited by their suitability for intended uses, often requiring acidic or alkaline environments, surfactants, and generating wastewater, which degrade the utility of nano-starch particles and limit their stability, especially under basic conditions.
A novel preparation method for nano-starch and nano-starch/ester suspensions that are aqueous-based, avoiding acidic or alkaline hydrolysis, surfactants, and wastewater generation, and utilizing fewer steps to create stable nano-starch suspensions that can be iodinated for improved stability and mechanical properties.
The method produces nano-starch suspensions with enhanced stability, particularly under basic conditions, allowing for longer-term molecular iodine stability and improved mechanical properties, suitable for applications such as wound healing and bone void fillers.
