In this work, an environmentally benign superabsorbent hydrogel based on banana pseudo-
stem has been synthesized by free radical graft co-polymerization of sodium acrylate (NaAc) …

In this paper, a new Schiff base based on porous chitosan-glutaraldehyde/montmorrilonite
nanoparticles modified with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (PCG/NaMMTNPs-APTES) …

Hydrogels based on sodium alginate (SA) and partially neutralised poly (acrylic acid) were
obtained by radical polymerisation. The hydrogels were cross-linked with N, N …

Hydrogels as metal ions adsorbents are commonly applied in wastewater treatment field.
