Abstract

Hydrogel based paint focuses on the utilization of hydrogel which is synthesised through cross-linked polymerization reaction and is used as the main raw material for gel-based paint. This study presents the collection of works related to development and characterization of hydrogel-based paints that leverage the unique properties of hydrogels, such as high-water retention, flexibility, and biocompatibility. This work aims to study the current knowledge on hydrogel-based materials, focusing on their synthesis methods, physicochemical properties, and diverse applications. Hydrogel plays an important role in biomedical and civil engineering applications. This study deals with the collection of works related to the physiochemical and mechanical properties of hydrogel along with the changes in it with the addition of different materials.

Keywords: Paint, hydrogel, thermal, insulation, heat-minimization
