In particular, they can be functionalized with biocompatible molecules for applications to life sciences. As an example, this strategy has been recently proposed to improve the potential of iron- and zinc- oxides as physiology fostering agents toward plants. In addition, if appropriate polymers are chosen from natural sources, optimally engineered delivery systems can be designed with the possibility of large-scale production while ensuring sustainability. Here we propose to study the high resolution structure and the hydrophobic/electrostatic interactions in composite aggregates obtained by combining iron oxide nanoparticle or zinc-iron oxide nanoparticles and polysaccharides extracted from autotrophic micro-algae or from the rinds of succulent plants
