Hydrogels are ideal for various food applications because of their softness, elasticity,
absorbent nature, flexibility, and hygroscopic nature. Polysaccharide hydrogels are …

Hydrogels are a kind of three dimensional polymeric network system which has a significant
amount of water imbibing capacity despite being soluble in it. Because of the potential …

In this work xanthan chains were crosslinked by esterification reaction at 165° C either in the
absence or in the presence of citric acid. Higher crosslinking density was obtained using …

Salecan is a novel water-soluble extracellular-glucan produced by a new kind of salt-
tolerant strain Agrobacterium sp. ZX09 and can be applied in food and medicine industries …

Efficient use of fertilizers, especially nitrogen, is essential and strategic to agricultural
production. Among the technologies that can contribute to efficient use of fertilizers are slow …

In the present study, for the first time, agar/κ-carrageenan and agar/κ-carrageenan/
montmorillonite hydrogel materials were prepared by the free-radical crosslinking reaction of …

Superabsorbent hydrogels, based on poly (acrylamide-co-acrylate) filled with cellulose
nanowhiskers (CNWs), were synthesized by free-radical aqueous copolymerization, using …

A new, low-cost, and eco-friendly organic–inorganic composite superabsorbent was
successfully synthesized in aqueous solution by polymerization xanthan gum (XG) …

Starch-gP (acrylic acid-co-acrylamide)/PVA semi-interpenetrating network (semi-IPN)
hydrogels were prepared by aqueous solution polymerization method. Starch grafting …

Salecan is a novel water-soluble, high molecular mass extracellular β-glucan produced by
Agrobacterium sp. ZX09. Salecan has excellent physicochemical and biological properties …
