Improving the Adsorption Performance of Loofah Sponge towards Methylene Blue by Coating Ca<sup>2+</sup> Crosslinked Sodium Alginate Layers on Its Fiber Surface
In this study, natural polymer sodium alginate (SA) was covered with high active carboxyl groups on the loofah sponge (LS) fiber surface to improve the adsorption ability of LS. The SA was covered on the LS fiber surface (LS@SA) through simple soaking in SA solution and then in situ hardening in Ca&...
