“…Many hydrogels, including poly(acrylic acid) [88], poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) [89][90][91][92][93][94], poly(N,N-dimethylacetamide-co-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) [95], amidoximated poly (methacrylic-co-acrylonitrile) [71], poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-grafted copolymer [96], poly(glycidyl methacrylate-glycine) [97], poly(1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone-co-sodium acrylate) [98], and poly(maleic acid) with cyclic groups of poly (1, 4-dioxa-7, 12-diazacyclotetradecane-8, 11-dione) and poly (1,4-diazocane-5,8-dione) [99,100] have been studied in the last decade to investigate their adsorption properties over various targets. As typical adsorption characteristics of hydrogels, Sammaddar et al (2019) [5] and Qi et al (2021) [64] reviewed the adsorption capacity of the hydrogel adsorbents such as acrylic acid, amine, alginic acid, cellulose and its derivatives, pectin, and chitosan gels for the removal of pollutants from the aqueous system.…”
