The growing environmental concerns explain the focus of the increasing scientific activity on both polysaccharides and proteins, given their remarkable potential for the design of all categories of materials for application in multiple fields, for example, in electronics, energy, environment, biology, and medicine [1,2]
The authors effectively developed gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) coated with fucoidan via one-minute microwave-assisted synthesis using a fucoidan-enriched fraction extracted from Fucus vesiculosus, which played the simultaneous role of reducing and capping agents
