“…According to the stabilization of MNPs, fluorides, carboxylates, polymers, and acids have been reported; − however, these can modify the chemistry of the surface and the electrical, catalytic, and optical properties. Natural derivatives such as chitosan, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, and other cellulose derivatives such as ethylcellulose , and carboxymethylcellulose , have also been used. The latter is mentioned as a reducing agent and stabilizer of MNPs , and as a matrix to form metallic films for biomedical applications. , Carboxymethyl cellulose or CMC is a linear-chain macromolecular polymer based on covalent bonds of d -glucopyranoses , due to its hydrosolubility and biocompatibility properties.…”
