Superabsorbent polymer was prepared by graft polymerization of acrylic acid onto the chain of carboxymethyl cellulose. This superabsorbent polymer was further treated by the solvent precipitation method. We found that the water absorption rate of the treated polymer was greatly increased and the microstructure of the treated polymer was changed from close-grained structures to loose macropores....

A novel thermo-sensitive superabsorbent hydrogel with saltand pH-responsiveness properties was obtained by grafting of mixtures of acrylic acid (AA) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) monomers onto kappa-carrageenan, kC, using ammonium persulfate (APS) as a free radical initiator in the presence of methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker. Infrared spectroscopy was carried out to confirm t...

In this work, novel superabsorbent composites made of starch-grafted-polyacrylic acid/coal gangue were prepared via aqueous solution polymerization. The starch-g-polyacrylic (St-g-PAA/CG) composite with 10 wt.% CG showed the maximum water absorbency in distilled (560 g·g −1 ) and a 0.9 NaCl (102 ). Moreover, exhibited fine thermal stability its swelling behavior was dependent on pH. general, ki...

In this research, to evaluate the effect of superabsorbent polymer and drought stress on the number and leaf area of Lettuce, experimental  research was conducted in a completely randomized design factorial with two treatments of irrigation regime at three levels (60, 80 and 100 percent of crop water requirement) and four superabsorbent hydrogel application (0, 4, 6 and 8 g per kg of soil) in t...

increasing the efficiency of water use is one of the main topics of sustainable agriculture in arid and semi-arid. the use of some materials such as superabsorbent polymers increase water storage in the soil and thus reduce the water use. increase water storage in the soil to reduce the effects of drought and saline soil. in order to evaluate the effect of super absorbent polymer on survival an...

introduction reduced availability of water resources in many arid countries including iran, particularly in response to the indiscriminate harvesting of water reservoirs and climate change, has created concerns. therefore, the sustainable use of water resources especially in agriculture is a necessity for these countries. strategies such as deficit irrigation and superabsorbent application are ...

A simple two-steps polymerization method was used to prepare a polyacrylamide hydrogel with a full interpenetrating network structure based on the sorption and porous properties of polyacrylamide superabsorbent. In conditions of 10 g acrylamide monomer, 0.04 g crosslinker for the first polymerization and the second polymerization, respectively, and the swelling ratio of 9, the hydrogel possesse...

one of the soil and water management practices in order to delay drought stress under water deficit condition; is superabsorbent application. in order to study the effect of  superabsorbent application on yield and yield components, two antioxidant enzymes activity and water relation of two canola hybrids under terminal drought stress condition, a research was carried out in ahvaz climate condi...

AIt is a huge challenge for farmers worldwide to successfully increase the organic matter content of their soils and improve water balance at same time. Therefore, main aim study develop test organic-based nutrient composite materials that can be used by soil content, management parameters implement water-efficient technologies. The was performed in orchard Institute Horticultural Science Unive...
