One particular practice is the use of multilayered combinations of wound dressings often made up of components with very different f...

To clarify the influencing mechanism of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) internal curing agent on carbonation resistance cement concrete, accelerated experiment was conducted to explore effect particle size and dosage SAP depth. The hydration performance internally cured concrete at different ages studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) test X-ray diffraction (XRD) test. Combined ...

Over the past few decades, advanced polymeric materials have gained popularity in development of sustainable agricultural applications. Smart systems extensively contributed to industry by increasing efficiency pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers facilitating controlled release and, therefore, enabling lower doses be used. Superabsorbent been used as soil conditioners control impact drought...

in order to investigation the effects of different combination and amount of chemical, biological and organic manure in present of water absorbent materials on some phenological, morphological and yield of soybean, a field study was carried out gorgan region climate conditions in a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications. in this experiment two lev...
