Using sawdust not treated with tannic acid had a low – less than 10% – removal rate, demonstrating that the polyphenol was key to microplastic capture. “There are microfibers from clothing, microbeads ...

Japanese researchers have harnessed the potential of tannic acid and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene oxide to create robust and intelligent supramolecular gels through an environmentally ...

Nanotechnology confers the ability to tailor the surface properties of nanoparticles and enhance the overall drug release profile. The use of tannic acid coating along with loading of the anticancer ...

Getting glue to stick in dry conditions is relatively easy, but having it maintain a bond underwater is much more difficult. That said, a new bio-based glue not only works underwater, it actually gets ...

Amino acids, such as tyrosine and tryptophan, are the fundamental building blocks that make up proteins. These biomolecules have different chemical groups on each end and side chain, and so, have the ...
