Co-processing MMT with the starches yielded starch-clay composites with different material and tablet properties than the pristine starches. The co-processed starch-MMT biocomposites exhibited improved flowability and compressibility over the pristine starches. The mechanical and drug release properties of tramadol tablets containing starch-clay composites were significantly better than those containing only pristine starches. The properties of the starch-clay composites were not related to the botanical source of the starches. The study showed that starch-clay biocomposites could be used in the controlled release of tramadol. The study showed that starch-clay biocomposites could be used in the controlled release of tramadol. Executive function (EF) and, in particular, inhibitory control have been associated with weight loss (WL) in behavioural WL treatment for obesity. Few studies have focused on the relationship between preoperative inhibitory control and post-operative WL following bariatric surgery, and the potential mediating role of maladaptive eating behaviours is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate preoperative executive function as a predictor of WL at 1 year following bariatric surgery. Additionally, we aimed to explore the mediating role of postoperative compulsive grazing in the relationship between inhibitory control and WL. A prospective observational study in which participants completed neuropsychological testing 30 days before and 1 year following surgery (n = 61/80; 76% follow-up). Participants were 80% female, with an average age of 41 years. Approximately 54% underwent gastric bypass, 26% gastric sleeve and 20% had one anastomosis gastric bypass. Regression analyses were employed to examine the relationship between preoperative EF and percentage total weight loss (%TWL), and structural equation modelling was us
