Biodegradable film developed from whey, isabgol and lotus stem starch

India Science Wire Indian researchers have developed a biodegradable film using lotus stem starch, whey protein concentrate, and psyllium husk that has high structural integrity and low solubility. Starch can form continuous matrix and has been considered an important polymer due to low cost and renewability. But films made from starch alone have low-mechanical strength and high water vapour content. In this study, researchers used starch along with whey protein and psyllium husk (isabgol) to make a biodegradable film. The stem of lotus plant was used as a source of…

New method can produce designer hydrogels

India Science Wire A team of scientists at the Bengaluru-based Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) have developed a new technique that promises to produce hydrogels that could be used for a variety of applications like cleaning of industrial wastewater.   The method involves self-assembly of tiny cubes of metal-organic compounds into hydrogels with the help of molecular binders. The makeup of the resulting hydrogel depends on the size, shape and geometry of the molecular binder.   For instance, when researchers used cationic ammonia-based molecular binder, the resulting…
