AIM The aim of this paper is to report a study to determine the effects of absorbent pads on the pressure-relieving properties of 'standard' and pressure management mattresses. BACKGROUND Pressure ulcers and incontinence often co-exist. There is a strong association between poor mobility and continence problems and patients using pressure management products are therefore also likely to be us...

sawdust of the most inexpensive and abundant most engrossing read and the ability to absorb heavy metals from water and wastewater types. on the other hand increased metal hexavalent chromium (cr6 +) in drinking water cause toxicity, and complications from it can be. so the purpose of this research, effects of the dosage absorbent sawduste, equilibrium time, the efficiency of absorption and cal...

in order to investigate effect of organic manure and super absorbent on physiological and biochemical traits of potato (solanum tubersum, cv marfona), a split plot experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications at research farm, agriculture college, university of razi in 2010. main factor included two levels of super absorbent a200 (0 and 70 kg/ha,) and spl...

This paper introduces super absorbent polymer valves and colorimetric sensing reagents as enabling components of soft, skin-mounted microfluidic devices designed to capture, store, and chemically analyze sweat released from eccrine glands. The valving technology enables robust means for guiding the flow of sweat from an inlet location into a collection of isolated reservoirs, in a well-defined ...

Preformed particle gel (PPG, a kind of Super Absorbent Polymer) has been successfully applied to control conformance in around 2,000 wells in China oilfield. The paper summarizes: (1) why we proposed the method, (2) What are the properties of thermalstable PPG products, (3) where it has been used and how to select a good well candidate for a PPG treatment, (4) how to improve PPG treatment resul...

This study presents the effect of super absorbent polymer (SAP) as internal curing agent on workability, durability and compressive strength self-consolidating concrete (SCC). In order to estimate efficiency SAP in different conditions ages, electrical resistivity tests have been performed. Homogenous denser microstructure was formed by gradual release water from into pores created SAP. Further...
