Development of Water-Borne Green Polymer Used as a Potential Nano Drug Vehicle and its In Vitro Release Studies

This paper describes an ecofriendly development of a nanodrug delivery vehicle from seed oil. The entire synthesis, starting from the ZnO nanoparticle to the polymeric vehicle is purely microwave assisted with minimal usage of organic solvents. Multifunctional features like enhanced UV absorbance, antimicrobial properties and appreciable in vitro release can be attributed to the nanoparticle loaded polymeric vehicle. Characterization of the synthesized species was done through FT-IR, ¹HNMR, SEM and XRD. The physical characterizations were carried out using conventional laboratory techniques.
