Study of growth of filamentous micelles from mixture of folic acid and Znc nanoparticles

Abstract

The study looked at the effectiveness of a folic acid (B9) medication when combined with nano zinc. Through physical alterations with a surfactant that has the potential to produce thread-like micelles, it reinforced the immune system as well as anti-inflammatory characteristics for its medicinal properties. The viscosity value of a mixture of the surfactant Cetyl Trimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB) and B9 drug at different temperatures was studied, and it was discovered that the highest viscosity value was at 3% wt of CTAB and 0.02g of B9, which indicates the formation of thread-like micelles, and the results showed the effectiveness of the material because it works to connect the drug to multiple parts rather than collecting it in one place. The investigation also looked into the impact of the Nano zinc was tested at various concentrations (4×10-4, 8×10-4, 4×10-3, 8×10-3) and temperatures, with the results indicating that weight (8×10-3) is the best. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies revealed the micelle and worm-like makeup of the mixture under investigation.
