Immobilization of Trypsin and Lysozyme in Halloysite Nanotubes for Producing Chitosan Coatings with Antibacterial Properties
Journal: Polymers
Year: 2025

A simple method for producing a nanocomposite based on halloysite nanotubes modified with carboxymethylcellulose and trypsin and lysozyme enzymes was developed. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the presence of enzymes in the samples. Chitosan-based coatings were subsequently produced from the nanocomposites. Atomic force microscopy visualization revealed the formation of globular structures consisting of enzymes and carboxymethylcellulose on the halloysite surface. An analysis o
