Effect of Corn Starch on the Biodegradability and Absorbency of Superabsorbent Polymer

Corn starch, a biodegradable material, was used to modify the properties of a hydrogel, also commonly called superabsorbent polymer, SAP. The starch was used to enhance the gel strength while providing an improved polymer biodegradability. The starch suspension was prepared by agitating the starch i...
