Polymers are supermolecules or huge molecules that have a central role as an excipient in any dosage formulation. Currently the usage of polymers in drug formulation is often associated with numerous problems connected with drug release side effects and carcinogenic effects. Therefore the utilization of water-soluble polymers and polymeric nanoparticles has been favoured to minimize these types of problems. Polymers can be found in natural and synt Read More

BackgroundRice husk is an important agricultural waste that contains organic mass and bio-silica. Although some rice husks have been used as fuel animal food filler for wine fermentation and fertilizer the majority are discarded as agricultural waste which does great harm to the environment. The conversion of rice husk to silicon carbide (SiC)-based materials satisfies the demand for the reutilization of solid wastes.MethodsThe article reviews recent progr Read More
