Controllable synthesis of novel hydrogel nanocomposites and their applications

Hydrogel nanocomposites are hydrogels with inorganic nanoparticles loading in 3D polymeric networks. They combine a range of physical, chemical and biological functions of inorganic nanoparticles with hydrogels. More importantly, the synergy effects can be obtained by controlling the interactions between nanoparticles and polymer chains. As a result, hydrogel nanocomposites can be adapted to more complex practical conditions and to meet the...
