In this study, alginate sponge containing quercetin-encapsulated nanocapsules was prepared by miniemulsion polymerization, dyring/crosslinking method and their bioactive characteristics were investigated. Alginate sponge containing quercetin-encapsulated nanocapsules were evaluated using a field emission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM), a high performance liquid chromatography, cell viability, DPPH radical scavenging activity and antibacterial activity. The study indicates that alginate sponge containing quercetin-encapsulated nanocapsules had significant antioxidant, antiinflammatory and antibacterial activities. This study suggested that alginate sponge containing quercetin-encapsulated nanocapsules can be a potential candidate for medical materials.
