Abstract

. Thermal and swelling analyses revealed enhanced crosslinking and thermal resistance with increasing MnO incorporation. The nanocomposite beads also demonstrated remarkable multifunctionality, showing strong antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic properties along with promising hemostatic and electrical performance. Overall, the results highlight the successful development of a high-performance, thermally stable, and magnetically responsive nanocomposite with broad potential applications in environmental remediation, biomedical engineering, and advanced material systems.
