Water absorption effect on electrical resistivity of kaolinite-superabsorbent polymer mixture
A research on the Kaolinite – Superabsorbent Polymer (SAP) mixture, which is a type of clay that dominated in Malaysia. The main high quality kaolin deposits in peninsular Malaysia that is found near Bidor and Tapah, Perak. This kaolinite clay soil used as an alternative material to replace bentonit...

A research on the Kaolinite – Superabsorbent Polymer (SAP) mixture, which is a type of clay that dominated in Malaysia. The main high quality kaolin deposits in peninsular Malaysia that is found near Bidor and Tapah, Perak.

The study was conducted to establish Soil Water Retention Curve (SWRC) and to determine the resistivity behaviour of the Kaolinite – SAP. The investigation on the corrosion of earthing electrode also has been considered in this study.
