Modeling of gelation process

In this dissertation, a super absorbent hydrogel, poly (sodium acrylate) was selected to model its behavior and characteristics. The poly (sodium acrylate) gelation was studied using differential scanning calorimeter by Omidian and Zohuriaan [2002]. This hydrogel is used for consumer care products a...

Description
Summary:In this dissertation, a super absorbent hydrogel, poly (sodium acrylate) was selected to model its behavior and characteristics. The poly (sodium acrylate) gelation was studied using differential scanning calorimeter by Omidian and Zohuriaan [2002]. This hydrogel is used for consumer care products and in agricultural application.
