A composite gel adsorbent was formed by simply mixing a polymer hydrogelator and an adsorbent material, activated carbon. The composite materials retained the thixotropic properties, and activated carbon was uniformly dispersed in the composite gel. Since functional particles such as activated carbon show the ability to subdivide and strengthen the fibre structure of this hydrogel, this hydrogel may be able to form a functional gel material composited with other functional particles. In practice, the composite gel could adsorb dyes, owing to the presence of activated carbon, without damaging the gel state in brine.

由聚合物水凝胶剂和活性炭组成的凝胶吸附材料


通过简单地将聚合物水凝胶剂和吸附材料活性炭混合形成复合凝胶吸附剂。复合材料保留了触变性能，活性炭均匀分散在复合凝胶中。由于活性炭等功能颗粒表现出细分和强化该水凝胶纤维结构的能力，因此该水凝胶可能能够与其他功能颗粒复合形成功能凝胶材料。实际上，由于活性炭的存在，复合凝胶可以吸附染料，而不会破坏盐水中的凝胶状态。
