IIT Guwahati’s chitosan-based gel selectively removes oil or water
Researchers at IIT Guwahati have chemically modified the chitosan to make it selectively remove either oil or water phase from an oil-water mixture. In a first, they made it possible…
Podcast: Removing oil from water using aloe vera
Uttam Manna of IIT Guwahati explains how his team synthesised an extremely oil-repelling (super oleophobic) membrane using an aloe vera gel-based coating modified with some molecules to remove oil from…
IIT Guwahati uses aloe vera to remove oil from water
IIT Guwahati researchers have synthesised an extremely oil-repelling (super oleophobic) membrane using an aloe vera gel-based coating modified with some molecules. This is the first time a naturally occurring material…
Podcast: Fabricating a scaffold for cartilage repair
Yogendra Pratap Singh from IIT Guwahati explains how the biphasic scaffold fabricated using silk is superior to the existing ones. Since the entire scaffold is made of silk, the junction…
IIT Guwahati fabricates superior scaffold for cartilage repair
Using silk, researchers from IIT Guwahati have fabricated a biphasic scaffold where one half is spongy and mimics the cartilage while the other half is less porous and mimics the…
Podcast: Developing bioactive wound dressing, skin graft
IIT Guwahati researchers have developed bioactive wound dressings and bio-artificial skin by using silkworm silk fibroin as matrix and coating it with recombinant spider silk proteins. The recombinant spider silk reduced bacterial…
