Gellan Gum (GG) was modified with N-vinyl Formamide (NVF) through PDP/Ag + redox system initiated graft copolymerization in a thermostatic water bath at 35°C under nitrogen atmosphere. The highest percentage of grafting (186%) and the lowest homopolymer content (22.2%) were achieved through a systematic optimization of the polymerization variables, including reaction time, temperature, and conc...

in order to study the effect of irrigation interval, n fertilizer and superabsorbent on yield and qualitative traits of sesame (sesamum indicum l.), a split-split-plot experiment was coducted in a farm in khusf of birjand, iran in 2009 on the basis of a randomized complete block design. the main plot was devoted to irrigation interval at three levels of 6, 12 and 18 days, the sub-plot was devot...

Abstract Superabsorbent polymers are materials that exhibit a high swelling behavior in liquids and can hold the absorbed liquid even against externally applied pressure. They commercially used, for example, baby diapers, fake snow, or swellable children's toys. Most available superabsorbent based on polymerized crosslinked sodium acrylate. Here, material formulation to create 3D objects using ...
