Strength-controllable graphene oxide amphiprotic aerogels as highly efficient carrier for anionic and cationic azo molecules
TL;DR: In this article, an ice-bath self-assembly was employed to fabricate the GO/AP-MCC/CS aerogel based on natural materials, where the components are amphiprotic microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), chitosan (CS), and graphene oxide (GO), which act as the main framework, auxiliary framework and adhesive.

Starch nanoparticles and process for the manufacture thereof
Panu Lahtinen,Sauli Vuoti +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a process for the manufacture of starch nanoparticles, comprising the steps, where in the first step starch is dispersed in an aqueous medium to obtain an annealing dispersion, which is subjected to homogenization at a temperature between 30 and 80°C to yield a gelatinized slurry, and in the second step a queous medium is added to the gelatinised slurry in a volumetric ratio of 1:1 or more to obtain diluted gelatinized liquid and homogenizing the diluted liquid at the temperature of 3-
