But pollution issues can arise, particularly in water in which nanometer-sized particles may become micropollutants and endocrine disruptors for aquatic fauna. And until now, there was no decontamination system for this environment.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers from the ChemBioMed* team at the <b>Inserm (French Institute of Health and Medical Research)<\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aquitaine-poitou-charentes.inserm.fr\/rubriques\/l-inserm-en-region\/organisation\/structures-de-recherche\/bordeaux\/annexes\/umr-869\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>ARN (Artificial and Natural Regulation)<\/b><\/a> laboratory, along with biologists from the <b>IMBE (<\/b><b>Mediterranean Institute of Marine and Terrestrial Biodiversity and Ecology)<\/b>, have created an artificial supramolecular hydrogel capable of trapping nanoparticles. A gel is a material consisting of a liquid (water in this case) trapped in a molecular network that makes it solid (examples of this include gelatin, contact lenses, etc.). The nanostructure of this gel can trap gold and titanium particles less than 50 nanometers in diameter. This study, financed by the <b>ANR (French National Research Agency)<\/b> has just been the subject of a publication in the review <i>Chemical Communications (<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/pubs.rsc.org\/en\/journals\/journalissues\/cc#!recentarticles&amp;amp;all\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ChemCom<\/a>), the filing of a patent, and a paper presented at an international conference in Madrid.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"eztoc1_1\" name=\"eztoc1_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"title-bioaccumulation-in-the-slime\">Bioaccumulation in the slime<\/h2>\n<p>Philippe Barth\u00e9l\u00e9my, a professor at <b>the University of Bordeaux<\/b> who is the team director, explained that the problem with this material is its price. Scientists have continued their studies in order to find a more natural material. It was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imep-cnrs.com\/fiches\/thiery\/thiery.htm\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alain Thi\u00e9ry<\/a>, a professor at the IMBE, along with his colleague Fabien Lombard, a researcher at the Villefranche-sur-Mer Marine Research Station, who thought of jellyfish as they had noted their nanoparticle bioaccumulating properties. Studying them more closely, the researchers discovered that it was the slime secreted by the jellyfish when they are stressed, during reproduction and even at the time of their death, that was able to trap nanoparticles with quite surprising results.<\/p>\n<p>This research is interesting in ecological terms for two reasons: both when it comes to reducing the toxic and environmental impact of the nanoparticles and in combating an increase in the numbers of jellyfish by using them for this purpose. But it is not all that simple; the slime is quite fragile, is difficult to freeze and defrost, and is therefore difficult to store. Consequently, at the moment it is not yet usable on a large-scale basis and studies are continuing.<\/p>\n<p><i>* Chemistry of molecular and supramolecular systems for biomedical purposes<\/i><\/p>\n<h3>Reference:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pubs.rsc.org\/en\/Content\/ArticleLanding\/2015\/CC\/c4cc08888c#!divAbstract\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Decontamination of nanoparticles from aqueous samples using supramolecular gels<\/a><br \/>\nAmit Patwa, J\u00e9r\u00f4me Labille, Jean-Yves Bottero, Alain Thi\u00e9ry and Philippe Barth\u00e9l\u00e9my<br \/>\nChem.
