Cellulose-Based Superabsorbent Hydrogels

Part of the book series: Polymers and Polymeric Composites: A Reference Series ((POPOC))

Abstract

Cellulose-based superabsorbent hydrogels can absorb and retain huge amounts of water or aqueous solutions. They have a wide range of industrial applications including (a) hygienic and bio-related uses (more specifically in disposable diapers); (b) agricultural uses (such as water reserving in soil, soil conditioning, and controlled release of agrochemicals); (c) pharmaceutical dosage forms; (d) separation technology; (e) textile, leather, and paper industries (such as in wastewater treatment); (f) water-swelling rubbers; (g) soft actuators/valves; (h) electrical applications; (i) construction, packaging, and artificial snow; (j) sludge/coal dewatering; and (k) fire extinguishing gels. Many new advanced technologies are evolving by the day to cope with rigorous industrial-scale applications to ensure improved technical feasibilities. This chapter will briefly cover some of the selected aspects of cellulose-based hydrogels and their industrial applications.
