Despite the ubiquitous use of glasses, their simultaneous susceptibility toward scratch-induced defects and atmospheric hydration deteriorates their mechanical and chemical durability. Here, it is demonstrated that the deposition of a few-layer graphene provides unprecedented wear resistance to silica glass in aqueous conditions. To this extent, nanoscale scratch tests are carried out on graphene-glass surfaces via contact-mode atomic force microscopy with chemically inert and reactive tips.

Article Synopsis
  • Curcumin was encapsulated in a double-layer shell made from nano-sized cellulose and either native starch (MDC) or nano-sized starch (NDC) to enhance stability and mask bitterness.
  • The study assessed encapsulation efficiency, with values of 97.11% for NDC and 90.46% for MDC, and employed FTIR to analyze structural changes in curcumin, indicating reduced intensity of curcumin peaks when encapsulated.
  • The double-walled curcumin capsules were applied to fish fillets coated in starch paste, revealing a visible color change over 7 days in refrigerated storage, effectively signaling spoilage to consumers without needing to open the package.

Considering the significant harm caused to aquatic ecosystems and marine life by oil spills and the discharge of oily wastewater, there is a pressing need to address this issue to protect our environment and prevent the wastage of valuable resources. We introduced a two-step approach to create an anti-swelling, water-repellent sorbent using a green polysaccharide called gum gellan, functionalized with Octadecyl trichlorosilane (OTS) through dip coating method. Natural gums like gellan have high absorption capability due to their large surface area.
