Background: The usage of natural fibres as reinforcement in bioplastic polymer composite
has garnered attention during the last few decades. This is due to limitations of …

In recent years, hybrid hydrogels have gained great attention as effective adsorbents due to
their high water retention and low cost. This paper gives an overview of the principal results …

Rod-shaped cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were manufactured and used to reinforce
polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogels through in situ free-radical polymerization. The gelation …

Polyacrylamide (PAM) was used as a matrix material for fabricating novel nanocomposite
hydrogels reinforced with natural chitosan nanofibers (CNFs) via in situ free-radical …

Owing to the rich surface chemistry, high mechanical properties, bioadsorbability, low
toxicity along with high abundance, nanocellulose (NC) has become a sustainable …

The powder of green coconut shell (Coco nuscifera L.) was chemically modified and used to
remove inorganic anions from aqueous solution through batch process. The solid was …

Apple pomace (AP), before and after chemical modification (CM), was assessed for the
removal of cadmium (Cd 2+) ions from aqueous solution by equilibrium, kinetics, and …

Food crops irrigated with wastewater can uptake heavy metals, causing serious health
ailments in humans. Use of a polyacrylamide superabsorbent polymer hydrogel and the …

Semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) of poly (vinyl alcohol)/polyacrylamide
was reinforced with various doses of nanocellulose. The different composite films thus …

The purpose of this work is to remove Pb (II) from the aqueous solution using a type of
hydrogel composite. A hydrogel composite consisting of waste linear low density …
