Abstract

Super-absorbent polymers (SAPs) are a family of functional polymer material, with a high water absorption function. It absorbs water hundreds to thousands of times heavier than itself and has excellent water retention performance. Once the water absorption expands into a hydrogel, it is difficult to separate the water even under pressure. This article describes the water absorption and retention capacity of polymer water-absorbent resin, a compound that can solve the problem of water shortages in agriculture, which is very important for the development of modern agriculture.
