Nanocomposite Hydrogels for Water Purification
Abstract: DNA hydrogels have been demonstrated as versatile catalysts, potential adsorbents, sensors and immobilization carriers of bioactive molecules. They are a type of tenuous, semiflexible polymeric network that consists of precisely designed synthetic nucleotide strands as chemical or physical cross-linkers. Hydrogels have been widely studied due to their improved physicochemical properties and used as antibacterial platforms, wastewater pollutants, adsorbents and drug deliverers. Because of their biocompatibility and the ability to mix …

Extraction of Nicotine from Tobacco Leaves used for Animal Cleansing
Abstract: Nicotine is addictive. An average cigarette yields about 2 mg of absorbed nicotine, and in lesser doses of that order, the substance acts as a stimulant in mammals, while high amounts (50-100 mg) can be harmful. This stimulant effect is a contributing factor to the addictive properties of tobacco smoking. Nicotine’s addictive nature includes psychoactive effects, drug-reinforced behavior, compulsive use, and relapse after abstinence, physical dependence and tolerance. Nicotine can …
