Investigation on swelling behavior of sodium alginate/black titania nanocomposite hydrogels and effect of synthesis conditions on water uptake

Polymeric nanocomposite hydrogels were developed from a hydrophilic natural polymer, sodium alginate (SA) with black nano crystalline titania (black TiO2) by using ionic cross linker CaCl2, in view of the possible enhancement in properties of SA towards water treatment application. The optimum condi...
