Abstract:
The development of green, biomedical hydrogels using natural polymers is of great significance. From this viewpoint, guar gum (GG) has been widely used for hydrogel preparation; however, its mechanical strength and adhesion often cannot satisfy the biomedical application. Therefore, in the present study, gelatin and a cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) were first applied to overcome the defects of guar gum hydrogel. Dopamine was self−polymerized into polydopamine (PDA) on the gelatin chain at alkaline condition, and gelatin−polydopamine (Gel−PDA) further cross−linked with guar gum and CNC via the borate−didiol bond, intramolecular Schiff base reaction, and Michael addition. CNC not only interacted with guar gum using borate chemistry but also acted as a mechanical reinforcer. The obtained Gel−PDA+GG+CNC hydrogel had an excellent self−healing capacity, injectability, and adhesion due to the catechol groups of PDA. Moreover, dopamine introduction caused a significant increase in the anti−oxidant activity. This hydrogel was cyto− and hemo−compatible, which implies a potential usage in the medical field.

Abstract:
Guar gum grafted sodium polyacrylate have been prepared via aqueous solution graft polymerization. Furthermore, the polymers were then surface-crosslinked using trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether (TMPTGE) to improve the properties of swollen hydrogel. Polymerization conditions were systematically optimized to achieve the optimum swelling capacity. FTIR and DSC spectra confirmed that sodium acrylate had been grafted onto guar gum chains. SEM observations showed morphology of the samples. The results confirmed that introducing guar gum into the superabsorbent could improve the swollen hydrogel mechanics performance, including hydrogel strength, resilience and dispersion, although making the water absorbency decreasing slightly. The good mechanics performance will make it feasible in hygiene application.

Abstract:
A novel magnetic anticancer drug carrier based on cellulose, guar gum, and Fe3O4 hydrogel microspheres was synthesized by chemical crosslinking. These microspheres were crosslinked with epoxy chloropropane and loaded with 5-fluorouracil (5-fu). The effect of the ratio of cellulose to guar gum on bead size, drug loading, and in vitro release behaviors were investigated. The influence of the magnetic content on drug loading and in vitro release behaviors were also evaluated. The magnetic hydrogel microspheres were characterized via an optical microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, swelling behavior analysis, vibrating sample magnetometer, and ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy. The results showed that as the ratio of cellulose to guar gum increased from 3:1 to 5:1, the particle size increased from 395 to 459 um. Moreover, the drug loading capacity, encapsulation efficiency, and in vitro release behavior were influenced by the ratio of cellulose/guar gum and Fe3O4 content. Finally, the Fe3O4 particle had an adsorption effect on the drug, thereby reducing the maximum cumulative release.

Abstract:
Natural gums based on polysaccharides such as guar gum, gum arabic and xanthan gum possess structure and properties that have been used for various applications in pharmaceutical, food and biomedicine. Due to their high presence of hydroxyl and/or carboxylate groups in their glycosidic skeletons, they can retain water molecules, forming matrices in the hydrogel state. These hydrogels have high biocompatibility that has been exploited in the biomedical field in strategies as controlled release of therapeutic agents, regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and modulation of cell growth. The objective of this review is to detail the chemical characteristics of natural gums and their use for the design of different hydrogel systems for applications in biomedicine.

Abstract:
Guar gum hydrogels may be dried to form polymer films which have the potential for use as biodegradable alternatives to polymers such as low-density polyethylene. In this study, the tensile strength and tensile modulus of guar gel films having moisture contents ranging between 15% and 18% (wet basis) were measured at a strain rate of 1 mm min−1. Mean tensile strengths of the films ranged between 25 MPa and 40 MPa (dependent on composition) which is of similar magnitude to the tensile strength data for polyethylene and cellophane that are reported in the literature. The mean tensile modulus of the films (1.5–2.5 GPa) was higher than the tensile modulus values reported for low-density polyethylene but comparable to those for cellophane (3 GPa).

Abstract:
In the current study, a guar-gum-based biodegradable hydrogel film was prepared using an initiator (potassium persulfate), crosslinker (N-N methyl bis acrylamide), and plasticizer (glycerol) for packaging of fruits and vegetables. The effect of independent variables (initiator, crosslinker, and plasticizer) on the biodegradation (% wt. loss), color difference (ΔE), hardness (N), swelling index (%), and transparency (%) of the film was studied using Box–Behnken design, random surface methodology (RSM). The results showed significant effects on all the abovementioned parameters, and it was observed that the developed model was accurate, with a prediction error of only −3.19 to 2.99%. The optimized formulation for the preparation of hydrogel film was 0.15% initiator, 0.02% crosslinker, and 2.88% plasticizer exhibiting satisfactory biodegradability, color difference, hardness, swelling index, and transparency. Results showed that a guar-gum-based biodegradable hydrogel film has adequate physical, optical, and biodegradable properties and can be successfully utilized in the food packaging industry.

A convers?o de energia solar em energia qu?mica usando c?lulas fotoeletroqu?micas ? uma estrat?gia interessante para armazenar energia. C?lulas fotoeletroqu?micas s?o dispositivos constitu?dos de fotoeletrodos semicondutores que absorvem luz com energia maior ou igual a energia de bandgap do semicondutor e geram cargas reativas (el?trons e buracos) na superf?cie dos fotoeletrodos capazes de promover a redu??o e oxida??o da ?gua em H2 e O2, respectivamente. Nesta disserta??o, quatro fotoeletrodos de g-C3N4, g-C3N4/Cu1%, g- C3N4/Cu5% e Cu2O/CuO foram preparados com o objetivo de desenvolver uma c?lula fotoeletroqu?mica para clivagem da ?gua em H2 e O2 de forma espont?nea. As medidas de difratometria de raios X confirmaram a presen?a das fases g-C3N4 e Cu2O/CuO nos fotoeletrodos. As imagens de MEV mostraram que os materiais ? base de g-C3N4 possuem morfologia do tipo esponja, enquanto a heterojun??o Cu2O/CuO ? formada por nanopart?culas de forma indefinida. Medidas de reflect?ncia difusa mostraram que o acoplamento do g-C3N4 e Cu2O/CuO resulta em uma melhora significativa na absor??o ?ptica dos fotoeletrodos. Medidas de ?rea espec?fica indicaram que os nanomateriais ? base de g-C3N4 tem alta ?rea superficial (?100 m2 g?1), enquanto a ?rea espec?fica da heterojun??o Cu2O/CuO foi de 17 m2 g?1. Os resultados de redu??o ? temperatura programada evidenciaram a forma??o das heterojun??es. Os testes fotoeletroqu?micos de produ??o de O2 a partir da ?gua usando luz vis?vel indicaram que em potenciais an?dicos, apenas o fotoanodo de g-C3N4 foi est?vel apresentando uma densidade de fotocorrente de 16 ?A cm?2 que corresponde a uma efici?ncia de convers?o de luz de 0,014%. Em potenciais cat?dicos, a maior densidade de fotocorrente (60 ?A cm?2) foi obtida para o fotoeletrodo Cu2O/CuO. A efici?ncia de convers?o de luz do fotocatodo de Cu2O/CuO foi de 0,029%. Com base nos dados obtidos, uma c?lula fotoeletroqu?mica p-n foi constru?da usando a heterojun??o Cu2O/CuO como fotocatodo e g- C3N4 como fotoanodo. Esta c?lula gerou uma densidade de fotocorrente in operando de 0,62 ?A cm?2 e uma fotovoltagem de 0,62 V. A efici?ncia de convers?o solar da fotoc?lula foi de 0,004% sob irradia??o de luz vis?vel. Apesar da baixa efici?ncia obtida, espera-se que esta disserta??o possa servir de inspira??o para o desenvolvimento de novos dispositivos fotoeletroqu?micos para clivagem da ?gua em H2 e O2, usando luz vis?vel.

The conversion of solar energy into chemical energy using photoelectrochemical cells is an interesting strategy to store energy. Photoelectrochemical cells are made up of semiconductor photoelectrodes that absorb light with energy equal or higher than the bandgap energy of the semiconductor to generate reactive charges (electrons and holes) on the surface of the photoelectrodes, which can promote the oxidation and reduction reactions of water to form H2 and O2, respectively. In this dissertation, four photoelectrodes of g-C3N4, g-C3N4/Cu1%, g- C3N4/Cu5%, and Cu2O/CuO were prepared in order to develop a photoelectrochemical cell for spontaneous water splitting into H2 and O2. The X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed the presence of g-C3N4 and Cu2O/CuO phases in the photoelectrodes. The SEM images showed that the materials based on g-C3N4 have sponge-like morphology, whereas the Cu2O/CuO heterojunction is formed by nanoparticles with undefined shapes. Diffuse reflectance measurements showed that coupling g-C3N4 and Cu2O/CuO results in a significant improvement in optical absorption of the photoelectrodes. Surface area measurements indicated that the nanomaterials based on g-C3N4 have high surface areas (?100 m2 g?1), while the specific area for the Cu2O/CuO heterojunction was 17 m2 g?1. The temperature programmed reduction results evidenced the formation of the heterojunctions. The photoelectrochemical assays of O2 production from water using visible light indicated that at anodic potentials, only the photoanode g-C3N4 was stable showing a photocurrent density of 16 ?A cm?2, which corresponds to a light conversion efficiency of 0.014%. At cathodic potentials, the higher photocurrent density (60 ?A cm?2) was obtained for the Cu2O/CuO photoelectrode. The light conversion efficiency of the Cu2O/CuO photocathode was 0.029%. Based on the obtained data, a p-n photoelectrochemical cell was constructed using the Cu2O/CuO heterojunction as the photocathode and g-C3N4 as the photoanode. This photocell generated a photocurrent density in operando of 0.62 ?A cm?2 and photovoltage of 0.62 V. The light conversion efficiency of the photocell was 0.004% under visible light irradiation. Despite the low efficiency obtained for the p-n photocell, it is expected that this dissertation may serve of inspiration for the development of new photoelectrochemical devices for water splitting into H2 and O2 using visible light.

O desenvolvimento de novos semicondutores fotocatalisadores, em particular os ativos na produ??o de hidrog?nio por fragmenta??o molecular da ?gua e da am?nia (presente no lixiviado de biodigestores ou de aterros sanit?rios e em efluentes industriais), tem dominado a ordem priorit?ria de interesse nas tecnologias avan?adas para a gera??o de energia limpa. Este trabalho teve como objetivo principal avaliar a produ??o fotocatalisada de hidrog?nio gasoso, a partir da fragmenta??o molecular da ?gua ou da am?nia, por uso da hematita pura ou da hematita dopada com os c?tions met?licos cobalto, n?quel, cobre e zinco como materiais semicondutores. Os materiais preparados por coprecipita??o foram caracterizados pelas t?cnicas de EDX, MEV, DRX, espectroscopia M?ssbauer, FTIR, BET e XPS. A taxa da produ??o de hidrog?nio foi avaliada por medidas de densidade da corrente gerada pelo H2(g) evolu?do da fragmenta??o molecular da ?gua ou da am?nia, em c?lula fotoeletroqu?mica (PEC). Foram tamb?m realizados testes fotocatal?ticos, sob luz vis?vel, com as hematitas, pura e com dopantes, como fotocatalisadores para degrada??o do corante ?ndigo de carmim, utilizado como mol?cula modelo, simulando a decomposi??o de substrato org?nico poluente em ?gua presente em efluentes industriais. Os resultados dos testes de degrada??o do corante mostraram que as hematitas dopadas com cobre e zinco tiveram relativamente alta atividade na degrada??o do corante; os melhores resultados foram obtidos com a hematita com zinco. Na evolu??o do hidrog?nio da fotocat?lise da ?gua, a dopagem com c?tions met?licos n?o alterou significativamente a atividade fotoeletroqu?mica da hematita. Ainda assim, a amostra de hematita dopada com n?quel foi a que apresentou um discreto aumento da densidade de corrente, maior propor??o de hidrog?nio gasoso produzido, sob radia??o com comprimento de onda maior do que 450 nm. A densidade de corrente gerada da degrada??o da am?nia foi maior, se comparada ? fragmenta??o da ?gua. No entanto, a dopagem tamb?m n?o alterou de forma significativa a atividade PEC dos materiais. Das amostras de hematitas dopadas, a com cobre foi a que apresentou os melhores resultados fotoeletroqu?micos, ainda que abaixo da efici?ncia fotoeletroqu?mica da hematita pura.

Technological developments of semiconductors to be used as photocatalysts for hydrogen production and for the degradation of organic pollutants in water in different circumstances, such as ammonia sluggishness from biodigesters and organic residues from industrial effluents, are strongly challenging the interest of the scientific community. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the molecular hydrogen production from the molecular fragmentation of water and ammonia using pure hematite and cobalt, nickel copper and zinc dopant prepared as co-precipitators as semiconductor materials. The materials prepared were characterized by EDX, MEV, XRD, M?ssbauer, FTIR, BET and XPS spectroscopy. The evaluation of the hydrogen production was carried out through measurements of current densities generated by the decomposition of water and ammonia in a photoelectrochemical cell (PEC). Photocatalytic tests were also carried out under visible light using pure hematite and with dopants as photocatalysts for the degradation of carmine indigo dye used as a model molecule. The results of the dye degradation tests showed that copper and zinc doped hematite increased dye degradation, and the best results were obtained for zinc hematite. In the evolution of hydrogen from water, the doping with metallic cations did not significantly alter photoelectrochemical activity of hematite, the hematite with nickel was the sample that presented a small increase in current density when in the presence of light. The current density generated by the ammonia degradation and consequent hydrogen production was higher when compared to water, however, doping also did not significantly alter the PEC activity of the materials, comparing the materials, the hematite with copper was the sample that presented the best results.

As we as a whole know the significance of green science combination and portrayal of ecological benevolent changed regular polymers is need of time. These regular polysaccharides additionally dispose of the risk to wellbeing and condition. Guar gum is one of the significant normally happening polymer having wide applications because of its rheological adjusting properties in therapeutic, pharmaceutical, food, material and scores of other modern and business divisions. There has been wide investigation on physiochemical and pharmaceutical properties of guar gum yet concentrate on adjusted guar gum and its subsidiaries are very inadequate. Unmodified guar gum has certain downsides like absence of lucidity and free streaming properties, fall in thickness and turbidity on draw out remain, and so on. These disadvantages can be overwhelmed by altering and derivatives of guar gum and can be utilized in multidiscipline fields. In this work I have all set hydrogels of Polyacrylamide-Guar gum hydrogels using glutaraldehyde as cross linker and potassium persulphate as initiator. Hydrogels with varying concentration of cross linker and guar gum were prepared and their swelling with admiration to time and temperature were studied. The effect of concentration of cross linker and guar gum on the inflammation of the hydrogel was calculated. The hydrogels were described by FTIR spectroscopy and TGA. Percentage swelling was chosen as the parameter for deciding the paramount hydrogel in each series of the guar gum concentration. The hydrogels showed considerable swelling and also the swelling exponent was found to be in the range of 0.919-0.997 thus, indicating the non-fickian diffusion mechanism. The regression coefficient was found to be 0.992-0.995.

Abstract:
Heavy metals are one of the most toxic materials to the environment. Adsorption is the process which is used for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater. Many researches have been conducted to remove heavy metals using different materials. Various adsorbents have been used to remove different type of heavy metal ions from wastewater especially those that are harmful to mankind. Activated carbons, plant or lignocellulosic wastes, clays and biopolymers are the most common adsorbents used. For this research, Guar Gum was used as a adsorbent to remove Heavy Metal from wastewater. Guar Gum, a type of biopolymer, is a good adsorbent to remove the heavy metal ions from wastewater. The synthetic wastewater was prepared in the laboratory to conduct the experiments. Batch experiments were conducted to obtain the optimum conditions for Heavy Metals. Effect of parameter like pH, adsorbent dose, contact time, temperature and initial metal ion concentration were also determined. The optimum conditions obtained were 180 min contact time, 10-500 mg adsorbent dose 1-5 g and pH 5 for Nickel. The maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 91.9% for Nickel.

Ferulic acid, a major active constituent of Chinese medicinal herbs, exhibits a variety of biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-cancer, and antibacterial effects. Erythromycin, a macrolide antibiotic, is commonly used in treatment of many bacterial actions. Ferulic acid-loaded and erythromycin-loaded hydrogel beads as oral delivery formulations were studied. In this work, the homogeneous sodium alginate/guar gum solution was dropped into calcium chloride solution, crosslinked by calcium ions, and the pH-sensitive hydrogel beads were formed. The swelling behaviors of sodium alginate/guar gum hydrogel beads were studied at different pH environment. The sustained release profiles of ferulic acid-loaded hydrogel beads were investigated in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) and simulated colonic fluid (SCF). The total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of Ferulic acid-loaded hydrogel beads were evaluated using the Folin-Ciocalteau method, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity and ferrous ion chelating ability assays. The MTT assays show that the sodium alginate/guar gum/ferulic acid hydrogel beads have good biocompatibility, which allow adhesion and proliferation of the L929 fibroblast cells. Finally, the antibacterial actions against gram-negative (E. coli) and gram-positive (S. aureus) bacteria of sodium alginate/guar gum/erythromycin hydrogel beads have been investigated. These results indicated that ferulic acid-loaded and erythromycin-loaded sodium alginate/guar gum hydrogel beads show a promising application in drug carriers.

Abstract:
As we all know the importance of green chemistry synthesis and characterization of environmental friendly modified natural polymers is need of time. These natural polysaccharides also eliminates the danger to health and environment. Guar gum is one of the important naturally occurring polymer having wide applications due to its rheological modifying properties in medicinal, pharmaceutical, food, textile and scores of other industrial and commercial sectors. There has been wide study on physiochemical and pharmaceutical properties of guar gum but study on modified guar gum and its derivatives are quite lacking. Unmodified guar gum has certain drawbacks like lack of clarity and free flowing properties, fall in viscosity and turbidity on prolong stay, etc. These draw backs can be overcome by modifying and derivatization of guar gum and can be used in multidiscipline fields. In this work we are preparing blend biodegradable interpenetrating polymer networks(IPNs) hydrogels using polymers both from natural sources and synthetic ones i.e Carboxymethyl guar gum along with Polyacrylamide with varying concentrations of carboxymethyl guargum and evaluate their properties, characteristics and their potential applications in different areas of biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. Characterization of synthesized hydrogels is carried out using different characterization techniques like FTIR & SEM. Other studies such as swelling studies and their physical properties like compression strength using UTM have also been evaluated. The blend hydrogels also exhibited the improved mechanical properties compared to those of homopolymers. The Carboxymethylated Guar Gum/Polyacrylamide blended hydrogels with the capacity of absorbing a high amount of water is also evaluated for its drug release profile at different pH. The drug used in this study was the ciprofloxacin hydrochloride. Release kinetics of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride from swollen polyacrylamide/carboxymethyl guargum cross-linked hydrogels in aqueous media have been successfully studied.

Abstract:
Water plays an essential purpose in agricultural yield. Unfortunately, water shortages have led to desertification and salination of soils, threatening the durable progress of agriculture, horticulture, and food security, especially in dried regions, where water resources are a severe problem. The hydrogel absorbed the water, released it to the plants as required while maintaining the soil moist during long periods. Biopolymer as guar gum-based hydrogel is becoming one of the most green ways to hydrogel materials for water retention. Artificial intelligence (AI) is used in hydrogel technology as a result of high energy consumption to make process control and optimization of synthesis and development. Sustainable environment for hydrogel technology was integrated by AI model.

Abstract:
Biopolymers are those class of macromolecules which are found in nature or extracted from the living organisms. Various structures and properties of the biopolymers-based materials are well researched till to date. These mainly includes hydrogels, bio glasses, bio inks, biocomposites, fibers and others. These biopolymers-based structures have some limitations. However, Biopolymers have some common advantages (i.e., non-toxicity, easy availability, monodispersity, degradability, and better solubility etc.) and disadvantages (i.e., poor thermal and chemical stabilities, brittleness etc.). To overcome these disadvantages, it is necessary to tailor these polymers by few emerging techniques like “Electrospinning”. Electrospinning is one of the easiest techniques to prepare nanofibers from polymeric solutions by applying high voltage. Obtained nano/micro structural polymeric fibers have good properties like high surface area, porosity and low weights etc. The materials having high surface area and porosity can easily interact with cells and tissues, are better mobile vehicles for drugs, as well as possess good filtration and adsorption abilities. Thus, these one-dimensional structures of the biopolymers are very useful in various fields of biomedical especially water sanitation/desalination, tissue engineering, drug delivery and scaffolds. Various biopolymers like chitosan, chitin, sodium alginate, guar gum, polylactic acid and others are successfully fabricated as fibers and used in various fields of biomedical.

Abstract:
Abstract Hydraulic fracturing has a significant effect on increasing production and injection of oil and water wells in low-permeability and tight reservoirs. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was generated after hydraulic fracturing of oil and water wells in Longxi Block of Daqing Oilfield. The maximum hydrogen sulfide content in casing gas reached 232 ppm, far exceeding the safety critical concentration value (20 ppm), which increased the risk and difficulty of production and construction operation. In order to reveal the influence mechanism of fracturing on H2S generation in Daqing oilfield, the experimental simulations of the thermal decomposition of sulfur (TDS), thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) and bioreduction reaction of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) with different compositions of fracturing fluid at different temperatures were conducted in this paper. The results showed that the influence mechanism of the fracturing fluid compositions on the formation of H2S was different when the formation temperature was different. The critical temperature of TDS and TSR reaction in the formation was 100°C and 140°C, respectively. The higher the temperature, the higher the amount of H2S was generated. The potassium persulfate (K2S2O8) and sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) in the fracturing fluid could promote the TDS and TSR reaction to generate H2S, but did not change the critical reaction temperature of TDS and TSR reaction. When the formation temperature was not higher than 56°C, the guar gum and sulfur-containing materials in the fracturing fluid could provide nutrition for SRB in the formation, which promoted the rapid reproduction of SRB in a short period of time, and then generated a large amount of H2S. The mechanism of H2S generation for fractured wells in the Longxi block with temperature of 30∼56°C was the proliferation of SRB in the fracturing fluid. The mechanism of H2S generation in fractured wells with temperature of 100∼120°C was that sulfur-containing materials promoted TSR reaction. This study clarifies the reasons and conditions for the generation of H2S, and plays an important role in the subsequent research on H2S prevention and control measures.

Abstract:
Abstract In oil and gas well construction during the drillouts or wellbore cleaning process, one of the most critical functions of land and offshore completions fluids is the ability to suspend solids effectively under extreme downhole conditions. Conventional agents such as xanthan gum, HEC and numerous other polymers have historically been used to accomplish this function, albeit with limitations. Functionally, these commonly used polymers depend primarily upon viscosity rather than elastic characteristics to suspend solids and require intensive chemical processing that leads to high deployment cost. Recently microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) has been investigated as a prospective suspending agent in carrier fluids for extreme downhole conditions. MFC is a unique type of superfine cellulose fibrils obtained from fully sustainable sources that have been subjected to proprietary treatment procedures, resulting in fibril bundles consisting of lateral dimensions in the sub-micron scale and lengths up to micron scale with abundant terminal hydroxyl functional groups. When dispersed into aqueous solutions, the resulting fluid has been characterized to have several favorable rheological, chemical and mechanical properties. Rheological measurements show the viscoelasticity of MFC dispersions is dominated by their storage modulus (G′ > G″) even with fluids formulated with as low as 0.25 wt% (about 20 lbm MFC /1000 gallons). The result is a suspension that exhibits superior particle suspension properties compared on a mass basis to conventional materials such as guar, CMC, HEC and xanthan gum. In addition, MFC solutions exhibit comparatively high viscosities at low shear rates but thin by several orders of magnitude at high shear, a characteristic that implies less work on surface equipment while having the ability to suspend solids at very low pump rates. MFC dispersions also have an excellent brine tolerance, demonstrating stable suspensions over weeks in fluids containing up to 150,000 mg/L TDS. The dispersions are stable at downhole relevant temperatures, applicable at low and high pH levels and resistant to shear degradation. Finally, MFC originates from natural resources and is environmentally benign and biodegradable. This paper describes the comprehensive characterization of the rheological and suspension properties that distinguish MFC from other conventionally used materials and make it fit-for-purpose as a robust, environmentally benign and high-performance suspending agent for downhole applications.
