Tannic acid, a polyphenol of natural origin, assembled in alternation with polyelectrolytes via the layer-by-layer method retains its ability to scavenge free radicals. Kinetics of 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) cation-radical bleaching by tannic acid/polyelectrolyte films depend on multilayer architecture, while total radical scavenging capacity depends on the amount of adsorbed TA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
