New method can produce designer hydrogels

India Science Wire A team of scientists at the Bengaluru-based Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) have developed a new technique that promises to produce hydrogels that could be used for a variety of applications like cleaning of industrial wastewater.   The method involves self-assembly of tiny cubes of metal-organic compounds into hydrogels with the help of molecular binders. The makeup of the resulting hydrogel depends on the size, shape and geometry of the molecular binder.   For instance, when researchers used cationic ammonia-based molecular binder, the resulting…
