Background The cumulative influence of global warming, climate abrupt changes, growing
population, topsoil erosion is becoming a threatening alarm for facing food challenges and …

Hydrogels are three-dimensional, hydrophilic networks, comprising polymeric chains linked
through physical or chemical bonds. In the area of food, hydrogels have great potential to be …

Superabsorbents were synthesized by graft copolymerization of acrylic acid (AA)/acrylamide
(AM)/2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS) onto sodium carboxymethyl …

Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) materials are hydrophilic networks that can absorb and
retain huge amounts of WATER or aqueous solutions. They can uptake WATER as high as …

This paper examines the mechanisms of desorption within cement pastes for
superabsorbent polymers (SAP) with different sorption kinetics: retentive and non-retentive …

Superabsorbent hydrogels (SAH's) refer to hydrophilic polymer networks (organic or
inorganic), that can absorb and retain huge amounts of water in their three-dimensional …

Hydrogels are polymeric materials which can swell in water and retain a significant fraction
of water within their structure without dissolving in water. Swelling rate is one of the most …

This study investigates the absorption behavior of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) with
different chemical structures and their effect on cement hydration, early-age autogenous …

This contribution provides a brief overview of recent progress in cellulose-based
superabsorbent hydrogels, fabrication approaches, materials and promising applications …

Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) have proven to be a very promising admixture which can
positively influence various properties of cement-based materials. SAP samples intended for …
