    Abstract: The extraction of benzene from benzene/cyclohexane mixture described herein is a process that removes benzene from a benzene/cyclohexane mixture with high selectivity, resulting in an enriched cyclohexane content in the retentate. The process involves adding an aqueous solution of poloxamer 188 to the benzene/cyclohexane mixture and waiting for the mixture to partition into an organic layer above an aqueous layer. Benzene, being more polar than cyclohexane, is selectively drawn into the aqueous layer. Benzene is then removed from the aqueous layer by pervaporation through a composite PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane)/polystyrene membrane. Cyclohexane is recovered from the retentate by drawing off the organic layer of the retentate by any known method. About 97% of benzene has been removed from a 50-50 wt % mixture by pervaporation in the static mode, and about 99% by pervaporation in the continuous mode.

    Abstract: A method of synthesizing a nanocomposite film including starch nanofibers includes preparing nanofibers from starch, mixing the starch nanofibers with a drug to form a first mixture, adding water to the mixture to provide an aqueous solution, adding hydrochloric acid (HCl) and glycerol to the aqueous solution to provide a second mixture, maintaining the second mixture in a water bath, and drying the second mixture to form a nanocomposite film including starch nanofibers. The drug can be a drug including carboxylic groups. The drug can be acetyl salicylic acid (AsA). The film can be a nano starch/AsA composite film or nanocomposite film. The nanocomposite film can be used as a drug carrier and, thereby, improve drug delivery.
