Novel antioxidant biopolymers composed by broom or cotton fibers, and trans-ferulic acid, α-lipoic acid, and α-tocopherol, were prepared. The acids were directly linked to fibers microfibrils hydroxylic groups using N,N-dimethylacetamide/lithium chloride (DMAc/LiCl) as solvent with dicyclohexylcarbo...
