Abstract:
Carboxymethyl guar gum nanoparticles (CMGGNPs) were synthesized by nanoprecipitation and sonication method. This method was used for the first time for the synthesis of carboxymethyl guar gum nanoparticles. It was found that the formation of nanoparticles might depend upon the sonication time, solvent, and stirring time. Nanoparticles were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD and FTIR. The sizes of the particles in suspension have been found in the range 12-30nm. It was concluded that such type of nanoparticles may be used in pharmaceutical and drug delivery.
