Sodium alginate is a natural macromolecule widely used because of its abundance, low cost
of acquisition, and rich hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in the matrix. The physical modification …

Copolymer of acrylic acid (AA) and itaconic acid (IA) grafted onto sodium carboxymethyl
cellulose hydrogel (CMC-g-poly (AA-co-IA)) was successfully synthesized as an adsorbent …

In recent years, industrial wastewater, oil spills, and the use of large amounts of antibiotics
have caused serious water pollution and shortages. Composite materials composed of …

In order to remove Cd (II) from waste water, a highly-effective hydrogel named
