Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs), sometimes known as hydrogels, have been proposed as
soil amendments to enhance soil water management. But the performance of SAPs as soil …

Over the past two decades, the development and commercialization of slow-release
fertilizers (SRFs) have significantly advanced, with the primary aim of mitigating …

In this work, starch/poly (acylic acid) hydrogels were synthesized through a free radical
polymerization technique. The molar ratios of acrylic acid to N, N′-methylenebisacrylamide …

In order to reduce the production costs of hydrogel and decrease the negative impact on the
environment, a new low-cost and eco-friendly semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi …

Biodegradable semi-IPN hydrogels of cassava starch (CSt)-g-polyacrylic acid (PAA)/natural
rubber (NR)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) at different NR/PVA ratios were developed as low-cost …

This work aims to explore the suitable crosslinker type for synthesizing multicomponent
biodegradable hydrogels of cassava starch (CSt) grafted with acrylic acid (AA) semi …

Slow-release fertilizers (SRF) have emerged as a sustainable remedy to the environmental
problems caused by conventional water-soluble fertilizers. They have demonstrated their …

Chemical fertilizer has become a necessary condition for increasing the production and
income of agricultural products in modern agriculture. However, excessive fertilization and …

Biodegradable interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogels based on pre-vulcanized
natural rubber (NR) and cassava starch (St) using sulphur (S) and glutaraldehyde (GA) as …

Batch adsorption experiments were carried out for the removal of methylene blue (MB)
cationic dye from its aqueous solution using rubber-based hydrogel. In this work, the …
