During the last decade, hydrogels have been used as potential adsorbents for removal of
contaminants from aqueous solution. To improve the adsorption efficiency, there are …

In nature, many soft supporting tissues capable of withstanding multiform external forces
during various activities consist of high strength hydrogels (HSHGs) in their delicately …

High strength hydrogels were previously constructed based on dipole–dipole and hydrogen
bonding reinforcement. In spite of the high tensile and compressive strengths achieved, the …

Hydrogels, as a new type of biomaterial with unique physical and chemical characteristics,
have three-dimensional solid networks constructed by hydrophilic polymer chains. The …

In this study, ion-responsive hydrogen bonding strengthened hydrogels (termed as PVV)
were synthesized by one-pot copolymerization of 2-vinyl-4, 6-diamino-1, 3, 5-triazine (VDT) …

A set of chitosan-g-poly (acrylic acid)/rice husk ash hydrogel composites was successfully
employed as methylene blue (MB) adsorbent. Maximum MB adsorption capacity of 1952 …

Traditional pH‐sensitive hydrogels inevitably suffer strength deterioration while the
responsive weak acid or base groups are in the ionized state. In this study, we report on a …

A novel approach was developed for the preparation of the attapulgite/poly (acrylic
acid)(ATP/PAA) nanocomposite microgels via the “one-pot” inverse suspension radical …

Chitosan film, Spirulina sp. film and its blend were developed as biosorbents to remove Cr
6+ and Pb 2+ ions from aqueous solutions. The kinetic study and the pH effect on …

A facile inverse suspension polymerization approach was developed for the preparation of
the magnetic attapulgite/fly ash/poly (acrylic acid)(ATP/FA/PAA) ternary nanocomposite …
