SYNTHESIS AND SWELLING BEHAVIOR OPTIMIZATION OF ACRYLIC SUPERABSOEBENT POLYMERS FOR MEDICAL, PHARMACEUTICAL AND HYGIENIC APPLICATIONS

Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) are a class of polymeric compounds which have the ability to absorb a large amount of water (solvent) or liquid from the media. These superabsorbents have different applications in medicine, pharmaceutical, hygiene as well as agriculture, gardening and industry. Many a...
