To enhance solubility and the performance of a plant gum (from south peach tree of China, SP gum) as a drilling fluid additive, we explored the potential of Modified SP (MSP) gum by modifying it with epichlorohydrin. The modification conditions, such as the mass ratio of  the crosslinking agent, pH and temperature, were optimized and the results show that 56.40 g/100g mass ratio of the cros...

There has been a growing trend in recent years for the development of hybrid materials, called composites, based on clay and polymers, whose innovative properties render them attractive for drug release. The objective of this manuscript was to conduct a review of original articles on this topic published over the last decade and of the body of patents related to these carriers. A scientific pro...

An outbreak of harmful algal blooms (HABs) often leads to the death fish and other marine organisms causes serious losses human economic activities. Modified clay (MC) technology is an effective way control HABs. Although material preparation process are based on premise green safety, potential eco-environmental impacts MC non-target should still have receive attention before field applications...

Carbon dots and their derivatives with fascinating photoluminescent properties have recently attracted tremendous scientific attention. This work describes the preparation of novel fluorescent bentonite clay (B), modified carbon dots...
