Summary: Borate crosslinked guar gum gels have been widely used in stimulating oil and gas wells. However, the high dosage of guar gum in the existing fracturing fluid increases cost and damages the reservoir. This study finds that the crosslinking efficiency is significantly improved when the size of the crosslinker is similar to the diameter of the guar gum molecules, which provides new ideas for the development of economical, clean, and green fracturing fluids.

Summary: Poorly soluble drugs often degrade in the gastrointestinal tract, limiting their effectiveness. Oral administration faces barriers like acidic pH and presence of microflora and enzymes. Choosing a polymer that can stabilize and release the drug to its target site has been a challenge. Guar gum-based nanoformulations have been extensively used to improve drug delivery and minimize degradation risk, making them highly important.

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.
