Abstract
Interest in the development of polymeric hydrogels impregnated with carbon-nanotubes (CNTs) is growing rapidly in recent times owing to their usefulness in many fields of human endeavor. This review paper serves as an archive of literature reports of several researchers who have worked on polymeric hydrogels embedded with CNTs for diverse applications. The review covers up to date research advancement on the synthesis and characterization properties of CNTs nanocomposite hydrogels. Besides, this review discusses extensively the various fields in which polymeric hydrogels infused with CNTs have been applied. This unprecedented compilation of CNTs nanocomposite hydrogels information into a single revision allows a straightforward comparison of studies performed for diverse applications.
