[https://doi.org/10.1080/03602559.2018.1434666] | Journal: | Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering | Abstract: | A decline in the world’s freshwater resources poses a major domestic and industrial challenge. Amelioration efforts that proffer possible water management and reclamation technology is therefore, of utmost priority. One of the most promising solutions to water conservation is to recycle wastewater. The use of polymeric nanocomposites (PNCs) in water treatment/remediation processes provides possible solution to recycling. This overview focused on PNCs; to highlight trends in their fabrication, characterization and application procedures for wastewater remediation and monitoring. Key issues bothering on the regeneration and reuse of PNCs were discussed, along with projections for their rational design for safe application. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/11189/8452 | ISSN: | 0360-2559 1525-6111 |
