Biodegradable hydrogels have been exploited in the controlled drug delivery area due to
various advantages. This review describes different types of biodegradable hydrogel …

The term hydrogel was coined in 1894 as it was employed to explain a colloidal gel. The first
report on the application of hydrogels was given by Wichterle and Lim in 1960, which was in …

The shielding protection given by self‐prepared porous hollow silica nanoparticles (PHSN)
to pesticides from degradation by UV light was investigated using avermectin as a model …

Increasing attention is being directed to reducing the amount of pesticides, herbicides, and
other biologically active agents used in modern agricultural crop management. One method …

Present work aims to synthesize the herbicide-loaded bio-based hydrogels and study the
release mechanism. The different ratios of starch and chitosan were chosen as the bio …

This article reviews research on the use of reactive polymers in one of the important areas of
international needs for health, nutrition, environmental pollution control and economic …

Porous hollow silica nanoparticles (PHSNs) with a diameter of ca 100 nm and a pore size of
ca 4.5 nm were synthesized via a sol–gel route using inorganic calcium carbonate …

Summary The herbicide 2, 4-D was microencapsulated using ethyl cellulose to develop
controlled release formulations that protect it from photodegradation and evaporation and to …

The prime objective of this study is to synthesize eco-friendly okra-psyllium based hydrogel
through free radical crosslinking method by using citric acid-ammonium persulfate as a …

The industrial demand for novel and smart materials as well as the urge for basic
understanding has led to a notable improvement in the area of polymer science. Recently …
