enzymes used to degrade polymer gels following hydraulic fracturing of oil wells to obtain
delayed release and to protect the enzyme from harsh conditions. Degradation, as revealed
by reduction in viscoelastic moduli, of borate‐crosslinked hydroxypropyl guar gel by
commercial enzyme loaded in polyelectrolyte nanoparticles was delayed up to 11 h,
compared with about 3 h for equivalent systems where the enzyme mixture was not …
