Polyelectrolytic complexation has stood out due to its application in the development of drug delivery systems using biopolymers as raw materials. The formation complexes between cashew gum and chitosan can be intermediated by cross-links, mediated action sodium tripolyphosphate crosslinking agent. These polymers have been used nanotechnological formulations protect peptide drugs, such insulin,...

Calcium carbonate binder is well-known to reduce the carbon footprint and brings great economic environmental benefits. However, cementitious mechanism unclear due raw material diversity. We prepare calcium crystalline polymorphs-vaterite calcite in presence of sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), revealed. Herein, optimal colloidal structure with vaterite as binding phase obtained at 5% STPP 1d com...

For more than a century, crystallization has remained chief research topic. One of the most undesirable phenomena is formation calcium carbonate scale in drinking and industrial water systems. In this work, influence chemical additives on CaCO3 formation—in either nucleation, crystal growth, or inhibition processes—is investigated by using CO2-degasification method. Chemical are foreign salts (...
