In agriculture, there are problems such as the high porosity of soils, high irrigation of water
and low fertilizer retention. Therefore, materials with the ability to absorb a high amount of …

In the recent era, polysaccharide-based hydrogels received the greater attention due to their
exceptional properties like biodegradability, and biocompatibility. In polysaccharide-based …

Controlled release fertilizer (CRF) hydrogels have blossomed into promising materials in
agriculture owing to the sustained release of the fertilizer and also as soil conditioner. Apart …

This work reports the synthesis of lipase enzyme catalyzed biodegradable hydrogel
interpenetrating polymer network (hydrogel-IPN) of natural gum polysaccharide ie gum …

Sustainable and at the same time high-yield agriculture are among the recent challenges for
this sector. The development of fertilizers that can be better used by plants, as well as the …

A boron loaded super‐absorbent hydrogel (BLSAH) was developed through in situ
incorporation of boron (B) in a guar gum‐based hydrogel and characterized with FTIR …

The present work deals with the synthesis of biodegradable hydrogel of a natural
polysaccharide aloe vera and vinyl monomer acrylic acid. In this synthesis, ammonium …

In the present work, biodegradation study of Gum tragacanth-acrylic acid based hydrogel
was conducted using soil burial and composting methods. Within 77 days, complete …

The semi-IPN based on Psyllium-Gum xanthan hybrid backbone was synthesized using free-
radical polymerization technique which was used for the sequestration of rhodamine-B dye …

The present study proposes the development and optimization of a new interpenetrating
polymer network (IPN), consisting of Gum tragacanth, poly (acrylic acid)(PAA), and poly …
