Super-absorbent polymers (SAPs) designed by the Chemistry and Biomaterials Group (PBM) at Ghent University could function as an alternative, and are more effective versus circulating water.

This follows ZymoChem’s recent announcement of the launch of BAYSE™, the world's first scalable, bio-based, microplastic-free, and biodegradable Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) as a drop-in ...

Gel blasters are toy guns that fire small, gel-like balls, frequently mentioned to as “gellets.” These gel balls are ...

SUITA, Osaka Prefecture--A scientist here says he has developed an inexpensive, biodegradable super absorbent polymer (SAP) derived from starch that could help resolve the growing environmental ...

His team is working out how to unpick the “super absorbent polymer” inside nappies that soaks everything up. “Now that stuff, no one knows how to recycle,” Mark says, “and we are using ...

First, they submerged the samples in a hydrogel solution containing small compounds that behave as liquid until they link up into polymer chains that absorb water and congeal into a gel. These ...
