Sepiolite and palygorskite are natural microfibrous clay minerals whose particular structural,
morphological and textural features are useful for the preparation of a wide variety of …

In recent years, there is a growing interest in studying the dielectric behavior of biopolymer
composites due to their potential application as a dielectric material in various electronic …

The term “clay” was used in everyday language long before being imbued with a well-
defined scientific meaning. Therefore, it is not surprising that it carries different connotations …

In this work, gelatin was chemically cross‐linked using epichlorohydrin. Then, a series of
gelatin‐based hydrogel nanocomposites containing CuO nanoparticles were prepared by …

Bioactive gelatin–graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites with varying GO contents were
fabricated by a solution-casting method. With the addition of 1 wt% GO, the tensile strength …

This manuscript summarizes the extensive research and new advancements on gelatin and
gelatin-based nanocomposites. In the first part, various modifications including physical …

The need for safe, therapeutically effective, and patient-compliant drug delivery systems
continuously leads researchers to design novel tools and strategies. Clay minerals are …

This paper reports the successful elaboration and study of plasticized starch nano-
biocomposites elaborated with needle-shaped nanofillers, namely natural sepiolite (SEP …

Biopolymer-based nanocomposites are materials composed mainly of biopolymer matrices
in which nanofillers are dispersed. Biopolymers are polymers obtained from some living …
