Abstract
A method of synthesizing a nanocomposite film including starch nanofibers includes preparing nanofibers from starch, mixing the starch nanofibers with a drug to form a first mixture, adding water to the mixture to provide an aqueous solution, adding hydrochloric acid (HCl) and glycerol to the aqueous solution to provide a second mixture, maintaining the second mixture in a water bath, and drying the second mixture to form a nanocomposite film including starch nanofibers. The drug can be a drug including carboxylic groups. The drug can be acetyl salicylic acid (AsA). The film can be a nano starch/AsA composite film or nanocomposite film. The nanocomposite film can be used as a drug carrier and, thereby, improve drug delivery.
