Red wine and chocolate are notorious for staining clothes, thanks to the tannic acid that they and other substances contain. Scientists at the University of Tokyo have now used that acid in a textile ...

Natural polyphenol seems to inhibit the activity of three important molecular pathways involved in the SARS-CoV-2 infection Using a multidisciplinary approach, the teams showed that tannic acid ...

Using sawdust not treated with tannic acid had a low – less than 10% – removal rate, demonstrating that the polyphenol was key to microplastic capture. “There are microfibers from clothing, microbeads ...

An inexpensive new porous membrane can quickly remove a broad spectrum of antibiotics from wastewater efficiently and without requiring a lot of energy (Matter 2022, DOI: 10.1016/j.matt.2022.09.021).

Japanese researchers have harnessed the potential of tannic acid and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene oxide to create robust and intelligent supramolecular gels through an environmentally ...

Researchers believe that tannic acid plays a role in inhibiting three important molecular pathways involved in the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Professor Charles Ramassamy and his postdoctoral researcher ...
