Abstract:Supramolecular hydrogels have been extensively studied for environmental applications owing to their biocompatible, nontoxic, and cost-effective properties. Herein, a polydopamine-β-cyclodextrin-epichlorohydrin (PDA-β-CD-EP) supramolecular hydrogel was facilely prepared through one-pot polymerization using a molar ratio of dopamine (DA)/β-cyclodextrin (β-CD)/epichlorohydrin (EP) of 1/2/50. Compared with other hydrogels, the (PDA-β-CD-EP) supramolecular hydrogel can selectively adsorb malachite green from mixed… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
