title: Stimuli-responsive polymer hydrogels as a new class of draw agent for forward osmosis desalination.
abstract: Ionic polymer hydrogels with thermal responsive units are found to induce higher water permeation rates in the osmosis process, and higher water release rates under a combination of pressure and thermal stimuli. These hydrogels have the potential for use as draw agent in forward osmosis desalination.
