Abstract

ABSTRACT Polymeric hydrogels are three dimensional polymeric networks. Incorporation of nanoparticle in polymers has led to emerging class of nanocomposite hydrogel having hierarchical 3D nanostructured mesh. This review scrutinizes the effect of nanomaterials on design, structure, functional properties, and applications of polymeric nanocomposite hydrogels. Herein, current state of the art in different types of polymeric nanocomposite hydrogels with graphene, carbon nanotube, nanodiamond, and fullerene has been highlighted. The polymeric nanocomposite hydrogels have gained considerable recognition for battery electrode, shape memory material, absorbent, oil/water separation, and biomedical application. Current challenges and opportunities in the field of polymeric nanocomposite hydrogel have also been discussed.
