Description
Maged Al-Fakeh and co-authors build a seaweed-based polymer and load it with metals in a chemistry study from 2024. Alginate and carrageenan are natural gums from seaweed, prized in food, cosmetics, and medicine. Crosslinking them makes a sturdier network that can hold metal ions.
Cobalt and chromium salts formed two polymeric complexes on the new base. Infrared spectra, element analysis, and heat tests charted their structure. Magnetism and conductivity checks added to the picture. The cobalt complex showed a tetrahedral shape in crystal study. Both complexes were tested against bacteria, oxidation, and cancer cells. Natural polymers with metal centers could serve as cheap, green drug candidates.
