Caldona","doi":"10.1080/15583724.2025.2580645","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15583724.2025.2580645","url":null,"abstract":"The development of highly entangled polymer gels marks a significant advancement in the design of soft materials. Unlike conventional gels, which often suffer from an intrinsic tradeoff between stiffness and toughness, these entangled systems overcome such limitations by enabling stress dissipation through chain sliding and entropic elasticity. As a result, they exhibit exceptional mechanical robustness, high fatigue resistance, and minimal hysteresis. This review explores the structure-property-performance relationships and characterization methods associated with entangled networks, with particular emphasis on their advantages over highly chemically crosslinked gels. Key synthetic strategies, such as <i>in situ</i> polymerization under high monomer concentrations, spatial confinement approaches, and novel processing methods, are also discussed. Furthermore, we highlight the functional versatility and emerging applications of these polymer materials in flexible electronics, ion transport regulation, 3D printing, and environmental remediation, as well as the use of computational, simulation, and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) approaches in studying their overall dynamic behavior. By consolidating recent advancements and identifying persisting challenges, this review aims to provide a roadmap for advancing highly entangled polymer gels toward harmonizing superior mechanical performance and multifunctional adaptability.","PeriodicalId":20326,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Reviews","volume":"40 1","pages":"1-35"},"PeriodicalIF":13.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145492165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its physicochemical characteristics are susceptible to the chosen synthesis method and operating conditions. Despite the growing number of studies exploring PANI for environmental applications, a well-defined and systematic basis for selecting optimal synthesis methods and conditions is still missing. This review critically analyzes the advantages and limitations of various PANI synthesis procedures, including chemical oxidative, electrochemical, enzymatic, and alternative polymerization methods, with a particular focus on how synthesis conditions (e.g., dopant type/concentration, oxidant, temperature) affect the conductivity, morphology, and surface area of the resulting polymer. Based on current evidence, chemical oxidative polymerization (COP) using 1 M HCl and ammonium persulfate (APS) at 0–5 °C and an APS/aniline molar ratio between 0.8 and 1.25 mol/mol is recommended to maximize conductivity and enhance performance for photocatalytic and adsorptive wastewater treatment. The review also highlights key knowledge gaps, particularly in downstream processing, and offers guidance for future research on scalable and sustainable PANI production.","PeriodicalId":20326,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Reviews","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145461291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
