Facile Fabrication and Characterization of Novel Sterculia Gum–graft-poly(n-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylamide) Hydrogel for Efficient Removal of Cationic Dyes from Aqueous SolutionBy Nisha Sharma, Sinderpal Kabalsingh Tank
Abstract: Water is indispensable component of life. Contamination of water is a severe problem that affects human health, aquatic vegetation, and fauna. Aside from various effluents, a variety of cationic dyes generated by industrial effluents contributes significantly to water contamination. In this study, a sterculia gum graft-poly(n-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylamide) hydrogel was made using a graft copolymerization technique with N,N′-methylene-bis-acrylamide as a crosslinker, ammonium persulphate as an initiator, and tetramethylethylenediamine as an accelerator to …

A Review on Polysaccharide Based Nanocomposite Hydrogel Systems Fabrication Using Diverse Reinforcing MaterialsBy Nisha Sharma, Vikrant Singh Rana
Abstract: In current scenario, materials with better physicochemical properties are desirable to achieve quality life and sustainability. Polysaccharide/biopolymeric based hydrophilic systems owning to their inherent properties especially hydrophilicity, nontoxicity, biocompatibility have extended their approach in every streta of biomedical Sciences and replaced synthetic polymers upto great extent. Despite this they also experienced certain demerits due to their biological origin. Functionalization of polysaccharide based hydrophilic polymer with reinforcing materials /modulators especially in …
