Influence of gamma irradiation on the hydrophobicity properties of modified poly(vinyl) alcohol (PVA) aerogels

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) aerogels and hydrogels are promising superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic materials. However, the chemical crosslinkers typically used in their synthesis are hazardous and toxic. To address this issue, we developed a sustainable fabrication method for silane-modified, hydrop...
