OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of different types of absorbent product for people with incontinence. DESIGN A systematic review of randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials was performed to compare different types of absorbent products for the containment of urinary and/or fecal incontinence in adults. SETTING AND METH...

Mulberry branch, consisting of bark and stalk, was used as raw skeleton material without any chemical pre-treatment to synthesize an eco-friendly mulberry branch-g-poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) (PMB/P(AA-co-AM)) superabsorbent composite. The synthesis conditions and properties of the PMB/P(AA-co-AM) superabsorbent composite were investigated. The results showed that under the optimal synthes...

The consumption of diapers and sanitary products has constantly been rising. Several problems are associated with using chemical-based products, which difficult to degrade easily cause nappy rash bacterial infections in babies. Therefore, there is an increasing shift towards natural-based because their biodegradability, non-toxicity, biocompatibility. studies being carried out researchers have ...

introduction: basil (ocimum basilicum l.) is an annual herbaceous plant that belongs to lamiaceae family. this plant is native of india country and other countries in south of asia. nowadays, the use of water superabsorbent polymers is increased in agriculture and their role in reducing the drought stress and increasing the crops production has been demonstrated in many researches. superabsorbe...

Drought conditions after sowing threaten the seedling establishment of all seeds, including cover crops. Cover crops are commonly broadcast and, thus, often susceptible to drought stress sowing. Our hypothesis was that seed coating with superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) would enhance germination in lab and stand field by increasing water availability single seeds. Red clover (Trifolium pratense L....
