Preparation and Characterization of Superabsorbent Polymers Based on Sawdust. [PDF]

Polymers (Basel), 2019
Sawdust, a cheap by-product of the timber and forestry industry, was considered as a framework structure to prepare superabsorbent polymer with acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AM), the synthetic monomers.

Crack Mitigation in Concrete: Superabsorbent Polymers as Key to Success? [PDF]

Materials (Basel), 2017
Cracking is a major concern in building applications. Cracks may arise from shrinkage, freeze/thawing and/or structural stresses, amongst others. Several solutions can be found but superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) seem to be interesting to counteract these

X-Ray Micro Tomography of Water Absorption by Superabsorbent Polymers in Mortar [PDF]

, 2020
Superabsorbent Polymers (SAP) have been recently subject of investigation as smart admixtures for cement-based materials. The properties of these polymers enable their use for internal curing, increasing freeze/thaw resistance, boosting autogenous self ...

Some New Concepts of Shape Memory Effect of Polymers [PDF]

, 2014
In this study some new concepts regarding certain aspects related to shape memory polymers are presented. A blend of polylactic acid (PLA) (80%) and polybutylene succinate (PBS) (20%) was prepared first by extrusion, then by injection molding to obtain ...

Free Radical Copolymerization of Diallylamine and Itaconic Acid for the Synthesis of Chitosan Base Superabsorbent

, 2022
Copolymerization of diallylamine (DAA) and itaconic acid (IA) was synthesized using benzoyl peroxide as a free radical initiator, in dioxane as the solvent. The composition of the copolymer was determined by the nitrogen content using Edx. The solubility

Superabsorbent wound dressings: A literature review [PDF]

, 2013
Superabsorbent dressings are promoted for use on moderate to highly exudating wounds to absorb and retain fluid, thus reducing the risk of leakage and minimising the risk of maceration.

Self-healing cementitious materials by the combination of microfibres and superabsorbent polymers [PDF]

, 2014
Concrete cracks due to its low tensile strength. The presence of cracks endangers the durability as they generate a pathway for harmful particles dissolved in fluids and gases. Without a proper treatment, maintenance costs will increase. Self-healing can
