Results for tag: "Biodegradable Super Absorbent Material"

Biodegradable Super Absorbent Materials (BSAMs) are a type of advanced material that can absorb and retain large amounts of liquid, while also being biodegradable. They are composed of natural polymers, such as starch, cellulose, and proteins, and are often used in agriculture, horticulture, and medical applications. BSAMs are highly absorbent, allowing them to retain up to 500 times their weight in water, and are also resistant to microbial degradation. This makes them ideal for use in soil and water conservation, as well as in medical applications such as wound care and drug delivery. BSAMs are becoming increasingly popular due to their environmental benefits, as they are biodegradable and do not contain any hazardous chemicals. They are also cost-effective, as they can be produced from renewable sources and are easy to manufacture. Companies in the BSAM market include BASF, Dow Chemical, Evonik Industries, and Mitsubishi Chemical. Other companies such as Novamont, Polymer Solutions International, and Polymer Source are also involved in the production and distribution of BSAMs. Show Less Read more
