Hydrogel based on liquid natural rubber (LNR) crosslinked with acrylic acid (AAc) was synthesised and applied for the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solutions. The LNR/AAc hydrogel was prepared by free-radical polymerisation using potassium persulfate (KPS) and N,N-methylenebisacry...
