We introduce a new and naturally abundant mild reducing agent, tannic acid, to improve the seed-mediated growth method for the synthesis of elongated tetrahexahedral Au nanocrystals enclosed with high-index (730) planes, at room-temperature. The control of the dimensions, plasmonics and electro-catalysis of such high-index faceted nanocrystals is remarkable.

Chitosan-based films are promising for consideration as packaging materials. In this study, we modified the chitosan by phenolic acid addition, such ferulic acid, caffeic tannic and gallic acid. The mechanical thermal properties were studied, water vapor permeability rate was determined. Moreover, antioxidant activity film color considered. results showed that acids effective cross-linkers chit...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Flow cytometry (FCM) is extensively used to estimate DNA ploidy and genome size in plants. In order to determine nuclear DNA content, nuclei in suspension are stained by a DNA-specific fluorochrome and fluorescence emission is quantified. Recent studies have shown that cytosolic compounds may interfere with binding of fluorochromes to DNA, leading to flawed data. Tannic acid...

ABSTRACT At present, chemical processes are widely used to remove phosphorus and organic matter from water or wastewater either as the only advanced treatment method or as a pre-treatment stage to biological treatment, and aluminium salts have been traditionally used as coagulants. In the present study removal of orthophosphate or dissolved organic matter with the use of two aluminium sources: ...

Arthritic diseases, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, inflict an enormous health care burden on society. Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease with high prevalence among older people, and rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune inflammatory disease, both lead to irreversible structural and functional damage to articular cartilage. The aim of this study was to investigate the e...

nowadays use of edible films and coatings is increasing due to their biodegradability properties. fish gelatin obtained from fish skin wastage can be used as an appropriate protein compound for preparation of edible films and replacing pork gelatin. in this study, films were prepared from a combination of fish gelatin and three phenolic compounds (caffeic acid, tannic acid and ferulic acid) at ...

Electrospun zein mats are known to have poor mechanical and water uptake properties limiting their usefulness as wound dressings.
 In this study, the effects of solvent system used, incorporation polymeric additives; polyethylene glycol 20000 (PEG20K) polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 (PVPK30); crosslinking agent Tannic Acid (TA) on characteristics – based nanofiber were investigated.
 The eit...
