“…Furthermore, the organic component of the nanocomposite can be tailored specifically to target the sorbate of interest. Common organic components used in nanocomposites for sorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contain aromatic groups that can allow for π-π interactions and hydrophobic interactions, indicating that this is the mechanism through which sorption occurs [ 17 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ].…”
