Conductive Polymer-Based Nanocomposites as Powerful Sorbents: Design, Preparation and Extraction Applications

AbstractConductive polymers as composite materials have been attracted tremendous attention due to their versatile and excellent features such as tunable conductivity, facile synthesis and fabrication, high chemical and thermal stability etc. These characteristics make them versatile and let them being used in numerous fields including microelectronics, optics and biosensors. Throughout the mentioned fields, conductive polymers particularly perform as effective sorbents. Although tremendous efforts have been put into this topic, to the best of our knowledge, a comprehensive up-to-date review on the applications of conductive polymers as efficient sorbents has not been reported. The main objective of this paper is to make a significant contribution to the recent literature toward the synthesis and extraction applications of conductive polymers as efficient sorbents.Keywords: Conductive polymerdispersive solid-phase extractionmagnetic solid-phase extractionsolid phase extractionsolid-phase microextractionsorbent Disclosure statementThe authors report there are no competing interests to declare.
