Herein, we report a facile preparation of super-hydrophilic sand by coating the sand
particles with cross-linked polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogels for enhanced water absorption …

The present work reports the fabrication of ultra-high strength microsand proppants (100
mesh) through a polymer nanocomposite dual coating approach and gives insight into their …

Herein, we report 3D-cross-linked polymer-2D-nanosheet composite networks for various
organic solvents and crude oil spill cleanup. The 3D-cross-linked polystyrene-polymethyl …

Main conclusion Alginate/wastepaper hydrogel mitigated sunflower drought stress by
increasing the water holding capacity of the soil and decreasing phosphate leaching. The …

Xylene isomers are notorious chemical hazards, and their efficient removal from water
solutions is still challenging. The current study reports a polymer nanocomposite as a …

Herein, we report a facile preparation and characterization of polyacrylamide (PAM)-2D
nanofiller (commercial graphene (CG) and hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (h-BN)) …

It is well-known that pre-formed solid proppant-laden fracturing fluid causes severe abrasion
to the fracturing equipment and severely shortens its service life. Besides, leak-off of the …
