General description

(anhydrous) for synthesis

Application

  • Gallic acid in tumor-targeted therapy: A study described the use of gallic acid-loaded HFZIF-8 nanoparticles for enhanced tumor-targeted delivery and thermal-catalytic therapy, showcasing potential applications in cancer treatment strategies (Yang et al., 2024).
  • Gallic acid in industrial processes: Research highlighted the integration of gallic acid within porous sponges for efficient dye adsorption and emulsion separation, indicating its utility in environmental and industrial applications (Yan et al., 2024).
  • Gallic acid in extraction processes: The use of gallic acid was explored in the ultrasound-assisted extraction of bioactive pigments from Spirulina platensis, employing natural deep eutectic solvents to enhance extraction efficiency and safety (Martins et al., 2023).
  • Gallic acid in self-healing materials: A novel study developed a self-healing hydrogel using gallic acid and carboxymethyl cellulose, triggered by Fe(3+) coordination cross-linking, demonstrating innovative applications in materials science (Yang et al., 2024).
