The high thickening properties of pristine xanthan (PX) were combined with the interfacial stabilizing properties of hydrophobically modified xanthan (HMX) in order to obtain stable oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. It was demonstrated that such a combination led to stable emulsions in which properties were higher than the sum of those of PX and HMX taken separately, thus indicating synergistic interactions

Anion exchange membranes (AEM) are very important for water desalination and sustainable energy conversion devices. For the synthesis of AEM, carcinogenic chemicals were used, which are banned in India. So based on the requirement quaternized poly (phenylene oxide) (QPPO) based composite membranes has been synthesized in combination with functionalized boron nitride (f-BN). Membrane properties are

Naturally-derived polysaccharides, such as alginate and chitosan, can be assembled to form nanocarriers for the delivery of therapeutic agents. Here we exploit the electrostatic complexation of alginate/chitosan in a water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion process to produce doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded nanoparticles (~80 nm) with exceptional spherical morphology and uniformity. This robust synthetic route utilizes
