In this feature article, we critically review the physical properties of porous hydrogels and
their production methods. Our main focus is nondense hydrogels that have physical pores …

Faced with the complex and severe water pollution situation, various water treatment
technologies are developing rapidly. Environmental functional materials, as the material …

A novel hydrophilic porous alginate-based polyHIPE (AGA) was synthesized via an oil-in-
water emulsion templating approach. AGA was used as an adsorbent for removing …

As a new photoluminescent nanomaterial, carbon quantum dots (CDs) have great potential
in the detection of food ingredients and contaminants, owing to its merits of ease in …

Producing lightweight structures with high weight-specific strength and stiffness, self-healing
abilities, and recyclability, is highly attractive for engineering applications such as …

The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive and consistent overview of structural
transitions during polymerization of high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). The obtained …

Self-healing polymer is a kind of functional polymer material that can repair scratches,
cracks, and other mechanical damage, whose unique self-healing ability is of great …

In this study novel and promising ternary hybrid nanocomposite of tungsten disulphide (WS
2), zinc oxide (ZnO) and polypyrrole (PPy) has been synthesized for the efficacious …

The disposal of Cr (VI) contamination in water urgently required an optimal material,
nanocomposite of chloride-doped polypyrrole/bentonite (Cl-PPy/BT) was synthesized …

By using a high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) templating approach, we synthesize
functional porous nanocomposites containing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) …
