The inert nature of most commercial polymers and nanomaterials results in limitations of
applications in various industrial fields. This can be solved by surface modifications to …

Functional copolymers obtained by modification of existing polymers using radiation
induced graft copolymerization are attractive materials due to their enhanced separation …

Novel magnetic nanocomposite hydrogel (m-CVP) beads were prepared by instantaneous
gelation of carboxymethyl starch-g-polyvinyl imidazole (CMS-g-PVI), poly (vinyl …

Environmental pollution has been accelerated due to fast urbanization and industrialization,
and thus hazardous contaminants removal and valuable metal recovery have become …

The use of functional polymers for the sorption of metallic species in water was widely
practiced in treatment processes. Such sorbents offered the possibility to remove a large …

A novelly-defined adsorption membrane for rapid removal of fluoride from drinking water
was prepared. Both zirconium metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) adsorbent and …

Outer-selective thin-film composite (TFC) hollow fiber membranes are normally made from
interfacial polymerization of m-phenylenediamine (MPD) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) …

In this work, advanced polymer nanocomposites comprising of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and
nanodiamonds (NDs) were developed using a single-step solution-casting method. The …

ABSTRACT A series of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/graphene oxide (GO)‐sodium alginate (SA)
nanocomposite hydrogel beads were prepared through in situ crosslinking for Pb2+ …

This paper highlights the use of hydrogels in controlled drug delivery, and their application
in stimuli responsive, especially electro-responsive, drug release. electro-conductive …
