Cardanol-like co-surfactants solubilized in pegylated micelles keep their antioxidant activity and preserve polyethylene glycol chains from oxidation

This study enlightens the ability of hydrogenated cardanol derivatives to act as radical-trapping agents and/or as protective co-surfactants toward the oxidative degradation PEG-coated nanoaggregates used in food and drug science.Graphical abstract
