To meet global food demand, reduce waste, and minimise environmental impact, the agricultural sector must improve its current practices on soil amendment, fertiliser encapsulation, seed crop protection. Super absorbent polymers (SAPs) are a class of polymeric materials that can absorb retain large quantities liquids/aqueous solutions compared to their own mass. Typically, SAPs cross-linked form three-dimensional hydrophilic networks, commonly known as hydrogels. Although be synthesised from both synthetic naturally sourced materials, for applications they generally composed polymers, due advantageous properties. These include higher water absorption rate capacity, low cost, availability, durability, mechanical performance. However, many these systems utilise polyacrylic acid (PAA) polyacrylamide (PAM) monomers which may have toxic effects nervous respiratory humans animals. ensure sustainable maintain healthy long-term output, SAP usage greatly reduced.
