Abstract
The grafting of essential oil molecules can provide an effective route to modify the chemical and biological properties of MgO nanoparticles. This approach offers a way to develop new antibacterial agents by mixing the MgO and essential oil (EO) to form MgO-EO hybrid nanoparticles prepared by in-situ incorporation method and characterized by various techniques. The results obtained confirm the formation of crystallized phase of Mg(OH)2 with an average crystallite size between 13 and 25 nm. Likewise, active functions of essential oils are detected in the produced hybrid materials, MgO-EO. To our knowledge, this approach represents the first comprehensive study using MgO nanoparticles loaded with essential oils resulting in new physicochemical and antibacterial characteristics.
