• The synthesis of glycine functionalized Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles (Gly@Al 2 O 3 ) by a simple two-step process employing sucrose as a template was reported. The functionalization of Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles with glycine was confirmed by Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. The interaction of Gly@Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles with collagen fibres was demonstrated using HRSEM, EDX, differential scanning calorimetry and FT-IR analysis. The thermal stability of collagen is enhanced to 74 ∘ C upon interaction with Gly@Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles thereby suggesting applications in leather making, biomedicine and cosmetic fields.
