New methods for the reduction and remediation of hazardous wastes like carcinogenic organic solvents, toxic materials, and nuclear contamination are vital to environmental health. Procedures for effective waste reduction, detection, and removal are important components of any such methods. Toward this end, polymeric smart materials are finding useful applications. Polymer-bound smart catalysts are useful in waste minimization, catalyst recovery, and catalyst reuse. Polymeric smart coatings have been developed that are capable of both detecting and removing hazardous nuclear contaminants. Such applications of smart materials involving catalysis chemistry, sensor chemistry, and chemistry relevant to decontamination methodology are especially applicable to environmental problems.
减少和修复致癌有机溶剂、有毒物质及核污染等危险废物的新方法对环境健康至关重要。有效的废物减少、检测和清除程序是任何此类方法的重要组成部分。为此，聚合物智能材料正得到有益应用。聚合物负载的智能催化剂在减少废物、催化剂回收和催化剂再利用方面很有用。已开发出能够检测和清除有害核污染物的聚合物智能涂层。涉及催化化学、传感器化学以及与去污方法相关化学的智能材料的此类应用尤其适用于环境问题。
