title: Preparation and characterization of honokiol nanoparticles.
abstract: In this paper, honokiol nanoparticles were prepared by emulsion solvent evaporation method. The prepared honokiol nanoparticles were characterized by particle size distribution, morphology, zeta potential and crystallography. Results showed that the obtained honokiol nanoparticles at size of 33 nm might be amorphous, and could be well dispersed in water. Due to the great dispersibility in water, the obtained honokiol nanoparticles might have great potential in medical field.
