Abstract:Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a mucopolysaccharide alternately linked by glucuronic acid and n‐acetylglucosamine, which is usually used as a moisturizer in cosmetics. In this study, HA derivative (FA‐HA) was prepared by modifying sodium hyaluronate with ferulic acid (FA). The chemical and morphological structure of FA‐HA were characterized by UV, FTIR, 1H‐NMR, DLS and TEM. The results showed that FA was grafted onto HA chains via ester bonds and self‐assembled into nanoparticles in aqueous solution. The introduction… Show more
