Superabsorbent polymer is a cross-linked polymer network, which comprises water-soluble building blocks. These polymers comprise ionic monomers and characterizes low cross-linking density, which helps in withholding large fluid volume in comparison to its own weight. Further, these networks have the capability to absorb and retain aqueous solutions comprising heavy weight and pressure.
SAPs are composed of ionic monomers and exhibits a low cross-linking degree that results in enhancing fluid uptake capacity in comparison to other conventional hydrogels, which in turn is driving the industry size. This polymer is manufactured in the shape of small solid particles in order to its capability to sustain the quality. It absorbs the water and swells and finally converts to a rubber-like formation to retain the water.
