Article Synopsis
- Researchers explored ways to apply lignin-like properties, particularly antimicrobial resistance, to surfaces but faced challenges due to limited small molecules and techniques.
- They synthesized a specific lignin-derived dimer (G-eug) and attached it to mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) using click chemistry.
- The study compared the interactions of these functionalized MSNPs with lipid bilayers to those of eugenol, revealing that the G-eug dimer had better particle uptake and disrupted bilayers, indicating potential for new antimicrobial materials.
