Abstract

The fabrication of green and low-cost biopolymer-based nanocomposites (NCs) has been

given great attention because of their unique physicochemical characteristics such as particle

size, shape, and distribution of structures in nanotechnological applications. In recent years,

biopolymer-based NCs have been reported to exhibit excellent biological, chemical, physical,

and mechanical properties. Herein, we prepared novel carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-

Silica NCs using a green and low–cost sonication method at room temperature. The prepared

CMC- Silica NCs were characterized using different advanced techniques such as High

Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared

(FTIR) spectroscopy. In this study, we investigated the surface property of the green CMC-

Silica NCs using an artificial intelligence. (AI) approach. The HRTEM micrograph of the

green CMC- Silica NCs was analyzed using a simple and easy-to-

use Image software. According to the surface experimental results, we observed that the sono-

prepared CMC- Silica NCshad a spherical shape with a uniform distribution ranging from 34

nm to 66 nm. In Fig. 1, the HRTEM micrograph and AI supported HRTEM micrograph of the

green CMC- Silica NCs were presented (8 bit and Rainbow RGB mode). Consequently, we

concluded that the prepared CMC-Silica NCs are a promising nanomaterial in biomedical

applications with a uniform particle size distribution under the optimum experimental

conditions.
