Glycyrrhiza glabra Linn (liquorice) has been widely used for therapeutic purposes to treat digestive disorders, immunomodulatory disorders, inflammatory disorders, diabetes, viral infections, and cancer. Liquorice contains a wide variety of bioactive compounds, including glycyrrhizin, flavonoids, and terpenoids. Several factors compromise their therapeutic efficacy, such as poor pharmacokinetic profiles and physicochemical properties. Therefore, to improve its overall effectiveness, liquorice solid dispersion (LSD) was incorporated into biopolymer-based guar gum-grafted-2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (Guar gum- g -AMPS) hydrogels designed for controlled delivery via the oral route and characterized. The qualitative analysis of LSD revealed 51 compounds. Hydrogel structural properties were assessed for their effect on swelling and release. The highest swelling ratio (6413 %) and drug release (84.12 %) occurred at pH 1.2 compared to pH 7.4 (swelling ratio of 2721 % and drug release of 79.36 %) in 48 h. The hydrogels exhibited high porosity (84.23 %) and biodegradation (9.30 % in 7 days). In vitro hemolysis tests have demonstrated the compatibility of the hydrogel with blood. CCK-8 assay confirmed the biocompatibility of the synthesized hydrogel using osteoblasts and RIN-m5f cells. LSD exhibited good anti-inflammatory activity when loaded into hydrogels after being subjected to protein denaturation experiments. Moreover, LSD-loaded hydrogels have good antioxidant and antibacterial properties.

Recently, sensors constructed on the basis of hydrogel are playing a major role in health detection such as motion detection and breathing monitoring. However, the common hydrogels have poor mechanical properties, insufficient adhesion and complex preparation processes, which hinder the further use of such sensors. In this paper, the conductive hydrogel (P(AA-UH)-OGG-CS/NiCl 2 ) composed of acrylic acid (AA), oxidized guar gum (OGG) and chitosan (CS) was prepared at room temperature through the dynamic redox reaction of nickel chloride (NiCl 2 ) and urushiol (UH). In detail, the reduction group (phenolic hydroxyl) of UH and Ni 2+ /Ni 3+ pair form a semi-quinone/quinone redox dynamic cycle system, allowing the hydrogel to quickly gel at room temperature for 3 min. The catechol group in UH also promotes the hydrogel to have a superior adhesion strength of 25.23 kPa to pig skin and a strong repeated adhesion performance. In addition, the dynamic Schiff base bond created by the interaction of OGG and CS elevated the tensile stress of the hydrogel to 67.54 kPa. After the hydrogel is assembled into the sensor, it has high sensitivity and high stability to different strains, and has great application prospects in the field of actual human health monitoring.

This study investigated anionic guar gum derivatives as dual-purpose inhibitors for methane hydrate formation and metal corrosion in oil and gas pipelines. Sulfonated guar gum (SHG), phosphorylated guar gum (PGG), and guar gum grafted acrylamide (GG-g-PAM) were synthesized and evaluated for their kinetic hydrate inhibition and corrosion inhibition properties. The results demonstrated that all anionic guar gums exhibited superior inhibition effects compared to native guar gum and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), with GG-g-PAM achieving the highest maximum subcooling of 10.47 °C at the concentration of 0.5 wt%. SHG showed the most pronounced effect during the hydrate growth stage, and exhibited the best corrosion inhibition efficiency as well, with a significant inhibition efficiency (>92 %) at 0.5 wt%, surpassing other additives and a commercial imidazoline inhibitor. The formation of a protective film on carbon steel, enhanced by anionic groups, was confirmed through increased contact angles and reduced corrosion rates. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), polarization curves and SEM-EDX spectra further substantiated the effectiveness of the anionic guar gums in preventing carbon steel corrosion in CO 2 -saturated environments. The findings underscore the potential of anionic guar gum, particularly SHG, as a sustainable and effective bio-based additive for simultaneous hydrate inhibition and corrosion protection in oil and gas pipelines.

In this report, the self-healable hydrogels containing hydroxypropyl guar gum (HPG), acrylamide (AM) and 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid (AAPBA) were prepared through a facile strategy. The double bond in AAPBA could polymerize with AM to form copolymers. Moreover, the boronic acid groups of AAPBA can interact with cis-diol of HPG which make AAPBA act not only polymer but cross-linkers simultaneously connecting PAM and HPG chains. The mechanical strength of the hydrogels was systematically investigated as a function of AAPBA content, HPG content, AM content and pH. It was found the hydrogels exhibited higher stress, elongations and self-healing properties due to the synergistic interaction of H-bond and dynamic covalent phenylboronic (PBA)-diol ester bonds. Furthermore, the hydrogels showed yielding phenomenon depending on the content of AM and pH, which could play a vital influence on the crosslinking manners and density. The detailed discussions of the relationship between crosslinking manners and yielding phenomenon provide a better understanding on the appearance of yielding phenomenon and their correlation with hydrogel structure.

Guar fracturing technology has been considered as a kind of popular EOR technology, but the weak static suspension capacity becomes a challenge due to the poor temperature resistance and stability of guar fracturing fluid. The main goal of this investigation is to explore the effect of different factors on the high-pressure static sand suspension of guar gum fracturing fluid by a synthetic efficient nano-ZrO 2 cross-linker. In particular, a mechanism of static suspended sand of nano-ZrO 2 cross-linker is analyzed by microscopic simulation. The adsorption performance of guar fracturing fluid on the shale surface is also studied for analyzing the environmental pollution and damage of guar gum fracturing fluid to shale reservoirs after cross-linking in this investigation. The results obtained that the inclusion of a small content of nano-ZrO 2 cross-linker (0.4%) leads to an apparent increase of fracturing fluid viscosity and decrease in the falling quality of gravel (104 mPa·s and 0.3 g) compared to the classical cross-linker (63 mPa·s and 3.5 g). The lower adsorption capacity of guar fracturing fluid containing nano-ZrO 2 cross-linker on the shale surface means that it has a weaker pollution ability to the shale reservoir than the commercially available cross-linker. Meanwhile, the grid structure density formed by nano-cross-linker and guar gum is considered to be the key factor to significantly change the suspended sand capacity. The investigation of nano-cross-linker cannot only provide necessary theoretical technology and data support for the stability of water-based fracturing fluid, efficient sand carrying, and the development of water-based fracturing technology, but also effectively protect the underground shale reservoir.

3D Hydrogel is one of the most popular adsorbents for water remediation due to its excellent concentration/ adsorption capacity. However, it remains a challenge to use the hydrogel alone for treating complex wastewater. In this work, we designed and fabricated a versatile bio-based hybrid hydrogel consisting of Ag NPs@ MIL-100(Fe) photocatalysts and guar gum (GG) via facile blending and self-crosslinking. The hybrid hydrogel integrated with multifunctions of dye adsorption and degradation, oil/water separation and antibacterial properties, thus enabling its applications in complex wastewater remediation process. The presence of Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) not only enhanced the photocatalytic activity of MIL-100(Fe), but also imparted the antibacterial activity of Ag NPs@MIL-100(Fe)/ GG hydrogel. Particularly, the bio-based GG hydrogel scaffold showed excellent injectable, remodeling, and self-healing properties, which enabled an effective oil/water separation ability (silicone oil, cyclohexane and canola oil) and facilitated the recyclability/sustainability of the nano-photocatalyst powders. This novel multifunctional 3D hybrid hydrogel provides new opportunities for wastewater remediation purpose.

For facile fabrication of environmentally friendly nanoparticle film carriers, the present study utilized sodium periodate to oxidize and induce the self-crosslinking of konjac glucomannan (KGM) and guar gum (GG). Innovatively, the film preparation process involves refrigerated air-drying technique to simultaneously achieve interface modification. The dendritic structure and swelling characteristics produced by the refrigerated air-drying technique significantly increased the specific surface area and improved the dispersion and loading of NZVI. The biodegradable and swell-hydrolyzable characteristics of KGM-GG enabled the green treatment of the carriers. To evaluate the performance of the film, a composite material with highly dispersed nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) was prepared to remove Cr(Ⅵ) in a wide pH range, especially under strongly acidic media. At room temperature and pH 2.0, Fe 0 /KGM-GG loaded with 1.2 mg of NZVI could completely remove Cr(Ⅵ) within 60 min. By characterization analysis, this rapid removal may be achieved by synergistic interactions such as adsorption, reduction, co-precipitation, and formation of bidentate-mononuclear complexes. The results showed that Fe 0 /KGM-GG had a good anti-interference ability in the presence of HA and coexisting ions. In this study, a new method for preparing environmentally friendly nanoparticle carriers with high loading and high dispersion through polysaccharide self-crosslinking and refrigerated air-drying film-making technology has been proposed, which provides a new way for green and sustainable synthesis of nanoparticle carrier materials.
