Structure–property–performance relationships in dextran/halloysite nanocomposite hydrogel platforms with tuneable swelling properties for enhanced aqueous remediation
Dextran-based hydrogels have attracted increasing attention as sustainable polymeric materials owing to their biocompatibility, biodegradability and high affinity for water. In this study, dextran hydrogels with different crosslinking densities were synthesized via epichlorohydrin-mediated crosslinking and reinfo...
