Liner materials have extensive applications in automobile industry, packaging, and aeronautics. One of the specific uses of such materials is in thermal barrier, coating rockets, missile, and other systems used in space and defense. Each liner material exhibits different properties according to their chemical structure and composition. In this stud...

A flexible and easily processable polymer composite is developed from naturally occurring piezoelectric materials for efficient energy-harvesting applications. Tomato peel (TP)- and cotton (CTN)-based poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) composites have been prepared and the role of induced electroactive phases have been explored through structural, th...

In this study, the natural polysaccharides chitosan and guar gum-based hydrogel crosslinked with glyoxal was synthesized to examine the efficacy of organic dye removal by adsorption. The maximum swelling capacity of 815% was achieved by optimization studies. The synthesis of hydrogel was proved by the analyses involving XRD, FT-IR, FESEM, and EDS t...

Chitosan- and Carboxymethyl cellulose-based hydrogel materials are synthesized by incorporating Bentonite and characterized with different characterization techniques like FTIR, FESEM, EDX and XRD. The most optimized conditions for getting maximum percentage swelling were 50 °C temperature, 25 ml of solvent, pH (9), 20 h of reaction time and 1:1 ra...

The scenario of the current investigation is to prepare an inclusion complex (IC) of chlorphenamine (CPM) and montmorillonite (MONT) by microwave method for sustained drug delivery system and to analyze the comparison of inclusion complex with direct loading of free drug. A nanocomposite was synthesized from chitosan (CH), pectin (PC) by incorporat...
