Synthesis of carboxymethylcellulose/starch superabsorbent hydrogels by gamma-irradiation
Abstract Background Superabsorbent hydrogels show a large potential in a wide array of applications due to their unique properties. Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is a commercially available water-soluble cellulose derivative of major interest in the hydrogel synthesis. High-energy irradiation allows...
