Synthesis and swelling behavior of rice husk based superabsorbent polymer composite

Superabsorbent polymer composites (SPC) based on acrylic acid and rice husk (RH) was synthesized through a solution polymerization to improve water absorbency and reduce production cost. The SPC was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning electron microscopy (...
