BackgroundSuperhydrophobic surfaces have broad application prospects in several fields due to their excellent hydrophobic properties, but the traditional methods of manufacturing superhydrophobic surfaces are time-consuming and laborious, the surface wear resistance is poor, and the chemical reagents contain toxic substances, making it difficult to promote the use of superhydrophobicity inexpensively.ObjectiveTo solv Read More

Cancer has become a major global public health concern, with millions of new cases and deaths reported annually. Conventional cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and surgery, continue to be the standard of care; however, they frequently bear significant risks and high costs, necessitating the development of more cost-effective and safe alternatives. These limitations can be overcome by nanoparticle (NPs), c Read More

Many industries use polysaccharide materials, such as those dealing with food, food packaging, medicine delivery, tissue engineering, wound dressing, wastewater treatment, and bioremediation. They were implemented in these spheres because of their efficacy, low cost, non-toxicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. It's well-known that many quick and easy techniques can be used to synthesize polysaccharides s Read More
