Abstract

With the increase in nanomaterials application in different industries, there is concern over their environmental impact. Various processes are required to separate them and avoid their leakage into the soil, water, or air. However, these methods may not always be efficient and straightforward. An alternative solution is to develop recyclable material. Stimuli-responsive materials are one of the most attractive candidates for this application. Accordingly, this chapter focuses on two of the most common stimuli-responsive materials: pH-responsive material and thermoresponsive material. First, we briefly describe these two behaviors. Then we describe some of the most common nanostructures synthesized with pH-responsive or thermoresponsive properties. Finally, we explain how these materials could be used to develop recyclable nanomaterial to be used for industrial applications. © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
