polyacrylate gels

Polyacrylate gels are a type of superabsorbent material made from polymers that can absorb and retain large amounts of water relative to their size. When they contact moisture, they expand into a soft, jelly-like substance. Commonly used in products like baby diapers, feminine hygiene products, and agriculture to control moisture, they work through a network of polymer chains that trap water molecules. These gels stay stable when wet, releasing moisture slowly over time. Their ability to efficiently absorb and hold water makes them valuable in multiple applications requiring moisture management.
