Innovations in cellulose-based hydrogels for enhanced wastewater treatment through adsorption.

Cellulose-based hydrogels are versatile and biodegradable materials derived from renewable cellulose sources. These hydrogels possess unique properties, such as high water absorption capacity, tunable mechanical strength and excellent biocompatibility. Their porous structure and functional groups enable effective interactions with contaminants and making them ideal candidates for water purification.
