Abstract:A biopolymeric hydrogel nanotubes (BTHBC) using 3-(benzo [d] thiazol-2-yl)-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and chitosan have been synthesized which exhibits excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) in both gel and solution phase. The optimized spatial structure of the monomer of BTHBC having lower energy (Energy: À1085688.464 kcal/mol) is found to be planar. FE-SEM analysis reveals that the spherical assemblies (20-100 nm) preceded gelation. Upon aging, gelation can be observed owing to the fusion of these… Show more
A low-cost furfuraldehyde–chitosan cross-linked hydrogel (FCH) has been designed and synthesized as a smart bio-adsorbent for the selective removal of As(v) from an aqueous solution using a solid liquid extraction (SLX) technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
