Superabsorbent polymers fabricated via grafting polymerization of acrylic acid from chitosan
(CTS) yields materials that suffer from poor mechanical strength. Hybridization of chitosan …

Los hidrogeles de almidón nativo, de sus componentes puros (amilosa y amilopectina) y de
sus derivados, pueden resultar más atractivos para algunas aplicaciones que los hidrogeles …

The present work involves the synthesis of porous gelatin/AcA (PGE-AcA) hydrogel and
novel porous gelatin-silver/AcA (NPGESNC-AcA) nanocomposite hydrogel, and their ability …

Starch, with properties of eco-friendliness and abundance, is one of the most important
natural polymers. Starch-based hydrogels were investigated as carriers of carbendazim to …

One of the most important among the numerous applications of superabsorbent polymers
(SAPs), also known as hydrogels, is soil improvement and supporting plant vegetation in …

The Canadian oil sands resources present one of the world's most vast hydrocarbon
deposits. The processing of oil sands to extract bitumen generates large volumes of mature …

The esterification of pullulan (Pu) with n-octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) was validated
using Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) spectroscopy. The reaction parameters viz., base …

In this paper, a novel gelatin-based hydrogel was synthesized through crosslinking graft
copolymerization of methacrylic acid (MAA) onto gelatin, using ammonium persulfate (APS) …

Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) were prepared from cassava starch by graft
copolymerization of acrylamide on to starch using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as free …
