2. Superabsorbent polymer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superabsorbent_polymer

   Superabsorbent polymer: Polymer that can absorb and retain extremely large amounts of a liquid relative to its own mass. [5] Notes: The liquid absorbed can be water or an organic liquid. The swelling ratio of a superabsorbent polymer can reach the order of 1000:1. Superabsorbent polymers for water are frequently polyelectrolytes.

3. Water crystal gel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_crystal_gel

   Hydrated water gel, or water beads. Water crystal gel or water beads or gel beads is any gel which absorbs and contains a large amount of water.Water gel is usually in spherical form and composed of a water-absorbing superabsorbent polymer (SAP, also known as slush powder in dry form) such as a polyacrylamide (frequently sodium polyacrylate).

4. Soil liquefaction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_liquefaction

   This gradual change in appearance from solid to liquid is a process known as spontaneous liquefaction. The clay retains a solid structure despite its high-water content (up to 80% by volume), because surface tension holds water-coated flakes of clay together. When the structure is broken by a shock or sufficient shear, it enters a fluid state.

5. Potassium polyacrylate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_polyacrylate

   As a type of superabsorbent polymer for plants (Ag-SAP), potassium polyacrylate can increase moisture availability to plants. It mixes with soil to increase the soil’s capacity for holding water (with water gel form which stay in soil for months [2]) and making it available to plants. This improved soil readily releases moisture, along with ...

6. Polymer clay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_clay

   Oven-hardenable PVC plastisol, "liquid polymer clay," is a complement to polymer clay that can be used as an adhesive to combine pieces, or to create various effects. Pigments, chalk pastel, and regular polymer clay can be added to make colored liquid clay. The liquid can also be poured into molds to produce cast parts. [citation needed]

7. Swelling capacity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swelling_capacity

   A small amount of superabsorbent polymer material is taken (0.1g) and it is placed in the beaker. 100 ml of deionized water is poured into the beaker. After 20 min the swollen polymer was separated by using [filter paper] By weighing the polymer, one can find the swollen capacity of the SAP material. [3]

8. Polymer soil stabilization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_soil_stabilization

   The clay particles are only weakly bound to each other, so various cations or polymers can be bound within the interlayer space. Biopolymers have been shown to strengthen soils both by cohesion with clay particles to form polymer-clay matrices and by promoting the aggregation of coarser soil particles with each other within the polymer-clay matrix.

9. Sodium polyacrylate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_polyacrylate

   This super-absorbent polymer (SAP) has the ability to absorb 100 to 1000 times its mass in water. Sodium polyacrylate is an anionic polyelectrolyte [2] with negatively charged carboxylic groups in the main chain. It is a polymer made up of chains of acrylate compounds.
