Sodium alginate-g-poly(acrylic acid-co-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)/montmorillonite superabsorbent composite: Preparation, swelling investigation and its application as a slow-release fertilizer

Sodium alginate-g-poly(acrylic acid-co-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)/montmorillonite superabsorbent composites (SACs) were prepared by graft copolymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) onto sodium alginate (Na-Alg) in the presence of montmorillonite (MMT) using N,N′-m...
