Conducting Polymer Hydrogels and Their Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Conducting Polymer Hybrids

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Polymer and Composite Materials ((SSPCM))

Abstract

The industrial demand for novel and smart materials as well as the urge for basic understanding has led to a notable improvement in the area of polymer science. Recently, significant consideration has been given to the modifications of biodegradable hydrogels based on natural polymers with conducting polymers (CPs), because this extends a straightforward process to couple the better features of CPs with the highly cross-linked hydrogels. The final hydrogels have been developed to change mainly electrical and structural properties to a larger degree. Herein, we present a comprehensive survey of the existing and current literature on conducting hydrogels based on natural polymers. This chapter also highlights ample of methods used to synthesize conducting hydrogel, properties, and characterization techniques. Conducting hydrogels have been used in the removal of dyes from wastewater, drug delivery, fuel cells, supercapacitors, dye-sensitized solar cells, rechargeable lithium batteries, etc. All these justify the rising interest in both academia and industrial development. In this analysis, an overview of potential applications of these conducting hydrogels and current challenges in the field are discussed; some new and futuristic advances in this captivating area are also provided.
