A super-absorbent hydrogel was developed by crosslinking of 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS) and acrylic acid with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) for controlled release drug delivery of captopril, a well known antihypertensive drug. Acrylic acid and AMPS were polymerized and crosslinked with HPMC by free radical polymerization, a widely used chemical crosslinking method...

The article presents an analysis of the results experimental studies effect different types a super absorbent polymer additive on strength concrete. study is aimed at effectiveness new type in concrete structures. In course full-scale experiments, it was possible to identify optimum dosage SAP for fine-grained and heavy concretes. addition, showed that remains unchanged if (SAP) 0.5% weight cem...
