In order to increase the fiber density and compatibilize the kenaf fiber with CDA, the fiber was sized with poly(vinyl alco- hol)(PVA). The sized kenaf fiber was compounded with the plasticized CDA using a twin screw extruder, and the opti- mal processing conditions were determined. The incorporated kenaf fiber improved the mechanical and thermal properties of CDA. In the case of the composites containing 30 wt% kenaf fibers, the tensile strength and modulus increased almost 2 and 3 fold, which were 85.6 MPa and 4831 MPa, respectively. The PVA treated kenaf fiber showed better adhesion to the CDA matrix. Keywords: cellulose diacetate, kenaf fiber, PVA, sizing.

This study conducted a comparative investigation on saturated water content of cinnamon soil mixed with SAP. Two SAPs, SAP1 and SAP2, with different behaviors were tested, where SAP1 is an organic superabsorbent polymer, and SAP2 is polyacrylic acid sodium salt polymer. The saturated water content of SAP composite cinnamon soil was investigated with the weighing method. The repeated water absorption capacity and dehydration behavior of SAP composite soil under different designed rainfall intensity were investigated with a soil column tester. The results showed that (1) cinnamon soil mixed with SAP increased the saturated soil water content, and SAP1 was more effective than SAP2; (2) SAP held strong water absorption ability and recycling efficiency with eight repeated absorption–dehydration tests; (3) the average dehydration time for SAP composite soil were 626 h and 1214 h under 5-year and 10-year design rainfall intensities.

  • Superabsorbent Polymers
    www.scifun.org Superabsorbent Polymers Absorbers and super absorbers If you spill a drink, your first impulse is probably to grab one or more paper napkins or paper towels to soak up, or absorb, the liquid. If the spill is large, several paper towels will be needed. Even a “quicker-picker-upper” can absorb only a small amount of liquid, before it is saturated (has absorbed all it can). What makes materials more or less absorbent in the first place? The answer is in their chemistry. We can harness the chemistry of polymers to build a better absorber: a super absorber. The word “polymer” means “many parts” (from the Greek: poly = many, meros = parts). A chemical polymer is a molecule made of many repeating units, monomers (mono = one, meros = parts), linked together through chemical bonds. It is useful to think of polymers as chains – a good analogy is a chain of paperclips (the monomers), Figure 1. Polymers are very versatile. They can form materials that are rigid like plastic water bottles or materials that are flexible, like plastic grocery bags. Note that polymeric materials are often called “plastics”. Figure 1. A chain of paperclips linked end-to-end like the individual molecules (monomers) that are chemically bonded to form a chemical polymer chain. Some polymers occur naturally. The most common polymer on Earth, cellulose, is a polymer of glucose molecules and is made (as a result of photosynthesis) by essentially every green plant. Cellulose forms part of a plant’s rigid structures, the wood in a tree trunk, for example.

  • Sodium Polyacrylate Superabsorbent Polymers SCIENTIFIC
    Sodium Polyacrylate Superabsorbent Polymers SCIENTIFIC Introduction Water from one cup is poured into an “empty” cup (actually containing sodium polyacrylate) and the water “disappears!” Concepts • Polymers • Osmosis • Superabsorbents • Industrial chemistry Materials Sodium polyacrylate, 0.5 g Styrofoam® cups or other opaque containers, 2 Distilled or deionized water, 100 mL Safety Precautions Sodium polyacrylate is nontoxic. However, it is irritating to the eyes and also to nasal membranes if inhaled. Wear chemical splash goggles whenever working with chemicals, heat or glassware. Sodium polyacrylate is an obvious choice for student pranks. Be careful students do not have access to sodium polyacrylate outside of chemistry class. Please review current Material Safety Data Sheets for additional safety, handling, and disposal information. Pre-Lab Preparation Before the students come into the room, place 0.5 g of sodium polyacrylate in one of the Styrofoam cups. Procedure 1. Add approximately 100 mL of distilled or deionized water to the second Styrofoam cup. 2. Tell the students that the water will “disappear” when poured into the other cup. (You can tip the cup forward some- what to show that it is “empty”; it will be difficult to see the 0.5 g of sodium polyacrylate against the white Styrofoam cup.) 3. Slowly pour the water into the cup containing sodium polyacrylate. Swirl the cup a bit (give the sodium polyacrylate time to absorb the water). 4. Tip the cup downward slightly to show the students that the water has “disappeared”! (Don’t turn the cup upside down, or you may dump the jelly-like mass on the floor!) Disposal Please consult your current Flinn Scientific Catalog/Reference Manual for general guidelines and specific procedures, and review all federal, state and local regulations that may apply, before proceeding.

It is the oldest preferential trade agreement between developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region that aims at promoting economic development through a continuous process of trade expansion and furthering international economic cooperation through the adoption of mutually beneficial trade liberalization measures. Current members include Bangladesh, China, India, Lao PDR, Republic of Korea and Sri Lanka. ESCAP Secretariat provides secretarial support to APTA. The text of the agreement was revised during the Third Round of negotiations and the list of items on which tariff concessions were exchanged expanded to more than 4,000 items. The Members also adopted common rules of origin with minimum local value content requirement of 45 per cent f.o.b. (35 per cent for LDCs) for availing the tariff concessions. The rules are simple and easy to operate. APTA allows any developing member country of UNESCAP to become a member. This agreement links three major economies of Asia namely China, India & Republic of Korea and thus provides preferential market access to one of the largest market in the world.

With today’s demand for one-click solution, the Accepted 15 March 2019 development of superabsorbent technology has been largely 28/03/2019-Mar Keywords: directed by the needs of disposable hygiene segment, agriculture Absorbent, Agriculture, industry etc. Over the years, starch-grafted superabsorbent Industrial, Medical, Polymer, polymer turned into cross-linked acrylic homopolymers. This Water paper discusses concept, mechanism and major application areas of superabsorbent. 1. Introduction dissolving in water [2]. water uptake potential A Polymer is a large molecule composed of these materials goes as high as 100,000% of of several repeating units. 3-D crosslinked its own weight in a short period of time [3]. network of polymer molecules forms polymer The maximum volume of superabsorbent gels. Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) is polymers covers the synthetic or chemically or physically cross-linked polymer petrochemical source and mostly acrylic acid gels. When water meets one of these chains, it and its sodium or potassium salts, and is drawn into the molecule by osmosis. Water acrylamide is used in the industrial rapidly migrates into the interior of the production of superabsorbent polymers.
