Abstract
Polymer nanocomposites are an important category of materials that demonstrate distinct physicochemical properties that are inaccessible with individual components acting alone. These nanocomposites have recently attracted intensive research interest owing to their promising potential for a broad assortment of applications in environmental remediation and in solving various environmental problems. This chapter mainly focuses on the most recent advances in polymer nanocomposites for hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) removal from water. It offers a brief discussion of composites and nanocomposites, and further detailed discussion of polymer nanocomposites and their preparation methods. Further, research advances involving the use of polymer nanocomposites for Cr(VI) removal from water has been comprehensively surveyed. At last, challenges and future research directions in growing high-performance polymer nanocomposites are briefly discussed.
