Abstract
Biopolymer conjugates have gained significant attention in the biomedical field due to their enhanced performance, particularly for drug delivery and antimicrobial treatments. This study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of conjugates of cellulose and cellobiose with para-aminobenzoic acid hydrazide (PABAH), employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphological analysis. SEM images revealed that cellulose conjugates exhibited a rough, highly porous surface, suggesting suitability for antimicrobial applications, while the smoother, more compact surface of cellobiose conjugates indicated potential for controlled-release drug delivery systems. This research provides insights into the relationship between surface morphology, porosity, and the potential biomedical applications of these conjugates.
