Abstract
The hydrothermal method is a cost-effective and eco-friendly route for preparing various nanomaterials. It can utilize a capping agent, such as a polysaccharide, to govern and define the nanoparticle morphology. Elemental selenium nanostructures (spheres and rods) were synthesized and stabilized using a tailor-made carboxymethyl starch (CMS, degree of substitution = 0.3) under hydrothermal conditions. CMS is particularly convenient because it acts simultaneously as the capping and reducing agent, as verified by several analytical techniques, while the reaction relies entirely on green solvents. Furthermore, the effect of sodium selenite concentration, reaction time, and temperature on the nanoparticle size, morphology, microstructure, and chemical composition was investigated to identify the ideal synthesis conditions. A pilot experiment demonstrated the feasibility of implementing the synthesized nanoparticles into vat photopolymerization 3D-printed hydrogel carriers based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). When submersed into the water, the subsequent particle release was confirmed by dynamic light scattering (DLS), promising great potential for use in bio-3D printing and other biomedical applications.

This Zip file comprises data present in the Main article. Most files are .csv files with the Figure number used in the main article.
A CIF file was taken from the COD (crystallography open Database) as a reference.
Each folder has the experimental data files used to get the interpretation in the main articles, such as Fig1-NMR data, which has three .csv files, one named "final results.csv," which has two data sets outlined by black color box, one from the 1H NMR. Another is from the 13C NMR, where column G values and column Q values, which correspond to the particular chemical shifts, are used for calculating the degree of substitution of CMS, found from the Mnova software for NMR illustration.Another one is polysacc1HNMR.csv files comprising the 1H NMR data where column A is the chemical shift(ppm) of the number of hydrogens in the CMS, and column B is intensity. Moreover, in the polysacc13C.csv file, column A has the chemical shifts(ppm)of a number of carbon backbone, column B depicts the intensity of these carbons, and column C has zero values generated by the NMR instrument. These columns were used to plot the NMR Figure 1b.
EDX data used for Fig 3 to interpret elemental analysis through SEM images are stated as 3h1%, 7h1%, and 14h1%. Fig 3.csv, here, the column A, C&E of 3h1%, 7h1%, and 14h1% is X-ray Energy (keV), and column B, D&F is the intensity as counts.
The histogram for the width of the nanorod's calculation statistics is stated in the Fig 4 folder, with each sample labeled as 3h 1_.csv,7h 1_.csv, and 14h 1_.csv, where each .csv file has the column M named length (nm)used for the nanorod width for the histogram and others columns has also labeled in the .csv file however did not use for plotting the Figure 4.In each .csv file in Folder fig 4, Column B is area of the nanorods (nm), Column C is Mean,Column D is standard deviation, Column E & F are minumum and maximum values of Mean, Column G is the perimeter of the nanorods(nm),Column H is designated to the angle by which measuremnet of width taken,Column I is circularity number, Column J is aspect ratio , Column K is Round shape , Column L defines solidity.
Data used in Fig5, all four .csv files are separately located in a folder named Fig5, such as DTA_fig5.csv, where the first column is dedicated to the derivative of weight%/Temperature for CMS and the second column is the temperature (°C) and the consequent column has derivate weight%/Temperature for 3h1%,7h1% and 14h1% this measurement done to find the temperature change, In FTIR Fig5.csv file first column is dedicated to the wavenumber(1/cm) and rest columns devoted to the transmittance(%) for sample CMS, 3h1%,7h1%, and 14h1%.
In the TGA file fig5.csv, the first column is dedicated to the temperature(°C), and consecutive columns have the weight % for CMS, 3h1%, 7h1%, and 14h%.
In the XRD file for Fig5, columns A and C&E depict the diffraction angle (2Theta) range used for all samples, and subsequent columns B, D&F have the intensity(cps) for all the samples CMS, 3h1%, 7h1%, and 14h 1%.
The histogram used in Fig6 was generated from the Origin using the width sizes(nm)of nanorods using the STEM images; individual histogram data is available in the Fig6stastics.csv file, where first column depicted the width of the nanorode STEM images obtained from sample 7h1%cms1% Se ion in nanometers, and consequently for 7h 1%CMS 0.5% Se ion and 7h1%CMS 0.25% Se ion.
