Tailoring the macromolecular architecture of covalently crosslinked xanthan gum/polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels for wastewater treatment: From nanometer mesh sieve to macroporous trap.
This study investigates the nanostructured network architecture, thermodynamic behavior, rheological and dye adsorption properties of chemically crosslinked Xanthan Gum/polyvinyl alcohol (XG/PVA) hydrogels synthesized at varying blending ratios (1:3, 1:1 and 3:1). Using gravimetric swelling analysis coupled with the Pe...
