OverviewAI-generated summary

Gurshagan Kandhola's research focuses on the development and application of nanomaterials, particularly those derived from polysaccharides like cellulose. Their work investigates the creation of novel nanostructured hydrogels and microspheres using materials such as cellulose nanocrystals, graphene, and carbon nanotubes. These engineered materials are explored for their potential in enhanced bioaccessibility and bioavailability of bioactive food compounds, as well as for tissue engineering applications.

Kandhola's publications detail the fabrication of bionanocomposites for improved drug encapsulation and release efficiency, and the tuning of hydrogel properties through covalent and ionic crosslinking. Their research also examines the impact of feedstock variability on cellulose nanocrystal properties and the synthesis of gold nanoparticles on cellulose nanocrystals for enhanced localized surface plasmon resonance. Kandhola has an h-index of 11 with 21 total publications and 424 total citations.
