The performance of ion exchange (IX) resin for organics removal from wastewater was assessed using advanced characterisation techniques for varying doses of IX. Organic characterisation using liquid chromatography with a photodiode array (PDA) and fluorescence spectroscopy (Method A), and UV254, organic carbon and organic nitrogen detectors (Method B), was undertaken on wastewater before and af...

Nano-sized materials possess uniqueness in their properties and designs as compared to their bulk counterparts. For this reason, they have attracted a great deal of attention from the scientific community. Nanocomposite is a composition having a dispersed material that has one or more dimensions, such as length, width and thickness, in the nanometer size range. The nano-sized materials have eme...

Transparent aerogels of biopolymer–polysiloxane double networks have been developed. In their Research Article (e202306518), Satoru Takeshita and Takumi Ono established a sequential protocol for condensation methyltrimethoxysilane crosslinking various biopolymers such as alginate, carrageenan, pectin, carboxymethyl cellulose in the same space. The drawbacks or polysiloxane alone can be overcome...
