The cellulose-based hydrogel has been widely applied for soil water retention and nutrient
release agents for several decades. Embedding the inorganic materials into hydrogels is an …

In recent years, the low utilization efficiency of fertilizers and the scarcity of freshwater
resources caused by globalization have received widespread attention. To address these …

Regenerated cellulose (RC) that is produced from 'green'alkali/urea system has been
extensively studied and fabricated into hydrogel. The versatility of RC products can be …

Water unavailability and shortage are severe problems in agriculture, particularly in loamy
sandy to sandy soil, since they inhibit plant growth, resulting in a low crop yield. Using …

With the aim to develop superabsorbent and moisture retaining hydrogel-biochar composite
for agricultural applications and as a controlled released fertilizer it was synthesized through …

Swollen cellulose fibres isolated from water hyacinth were utilized in the synthesis of water
hyacinth cellulose-graft-poly (ammonium acrylate-co-acrylic acid) polymer hydrogel (PHG) …

Recently, efforts have been devoted to find ways in utilizing biomass as feedstocks for the
production of organic chemicals. This is because of its abundance, renewability and …

Hydrogels were prepared from cellulose acetate with a degree substitution (DS) 2.5
dissolved in dimethylformamide using esterification crosslinking with …

Downgrading in the yield of crop is due to the inadequate availability of water. The way out
for this trouble is to construct synthetic resources dependent on natural polymers with great …

In this study, an eco-friendly controlled release fertilizer cellulose-based hydrogel was
prepared from cellulose fibers derived from wastepaper, epichlorohydrin (ECH) as a …
