Water deficit is one of the major limiting factors seed crop germination and productivity. Consequently, superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) are among several technologies that enhance water use efficiency, leading to worthy germination. The objective this study was investigate potential effect three rates SAPs (0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0% w/w) on seedling emergence barley fenugreek sown in a sandy soil using ...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to retrospectively evaluate the symptom control, tumour response, and complication rate in patients with liver-predominant metastatic neuroendocrine tumours treated with transarterial chemoembolization using doxorubicin-eluting superabsorbent polymer (SAP) microspheres. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with neuroendocrine liver metastases who underwent hepatic...

Abstract The efficient extraction of lipid species in plasma was developed for quick sample preparation and accurate analysis, using spin column with superabsorbent polymer beads (SAP), as the improvement previous SAP method reported before. modified (mSAP) is composed simple steps, including loading, swelling, solvent addition, centrifugation, drying resulting solution. mSAP offers several adv...

The effect of bio-fertilizers and super-absorbents on the modification water-deficit stress was studied in castor. A field experiment conducted with a split-plot design based completely randomized block three replications. first factor included four levels (70, 100, 130, 160 mm evaporation pan Class) main plot; sub-factor application bio-fertilizer treatments (Azospirillum, Citrobacter, Azospir...

The development of new adhesive wound care products intended for an application over a prolonged time requires good water transporting properties of the adhesive for the maintenance of a suitable environment around the wound. The ability of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based silicone films to transport water has led to its use in skin pressure-sensitive adhesives and it would be advantageous to ...

Abstract Superabsorbent hydrogels were prepared from biodegradable material, where the matrix was cross-linked cellulose and carboxymethyl reinforced by quaternized tunicate nanocrystals (Q-TCNCs). Due to large amount of hydrophilic groups on cellulose, Q-TCNCs, had excellent water absorption capacity. The equilibrium swelling ratio superabsorbent exceeded 500 g/g in deionized 120 even syntheti...
