Nanocellulose-based microcaps show size-based exclusion, producing a 30% statistically significant decrease in partition coefficients for 2 MDa versus 150 kDa nanodextran.
- Why it matters: Quantifying how nanoparticle size and surface charge affect penetration versus biological adaptation remains limited, partly because living interfaces respond to nanoscale delivery vehicles.
- What they did: A tunable synthetic nanocellulose hydrogel was exposed to 150 kDa and 2 MDa nanodextrans with neutral and negative charge, testing size exclusion, charge interactions, and volume exclusion.
- The result: Literature-linked bioaccumulation comparisons indicated only the interaction of size and charge significantly affected accumulation (p-value < 0.05, F-statistic = 4.8), enabling coupled in silico modeling of interfacial transport.
