Chitosan: Chemistry, Applications & Economics of Production - A ReviewBy Sandeep Rai, K. Satish Kumar, Jinkal Mistry, Nilesh Singh, Akshita Rai
Abstract: Chitosan is a natural poly-cationic linear polysaccharide derived from chitin and also known as de-acetylated chitin. It is derived from partial de-acetylation of chitin. Its low solubility in neutral and alkaline solution limits its application. Chitosan’s chemical modification brings to it new reactive functional properties for different applications. Because of biocompatibility, non-toxicity, low allergenicity and biodegradability, it is used in various applications .This review paper presents the chemistry, literature review …

Energy Conservation with use of Cool Roof CoatingsBy Sandeep Rai, Jinkal Mistry
Abstract: Regions with hot and dry climate often experience very high levels of solar radiation, high ambient temperatures and relatively low specific humidity. The roofs of buildings in such areas are always exposed to Sun for long duration during the daytime. Solar radiation is responsible for heat transfer through the building roof. Actually, Solar radiation heat the roof which in turn reradiates the heat onto the ceiling and finally on to …

Hydrogels Based on Guar Gum: A ReviewBy Sandeep Rai, Yashwant Bhalerao, Jinkal Mistry
Abstract: Polysaccharide-based hydrogels are potential materials for wide range of medical applications i.e., tissue engineering, controlled drug delivery and local therapy etc. An interesting fact related to hydrogels is their ability to be injected without any modification in their chemical, mechanical and/or biological properties, due to their thixotropic behavior. It is also feasible to alter the rheological and chemical-physical properties of polysaccharide hydrogels by modifying the cross-linking agents and exploiting their …
