In contemporary agriculture, there is a practice called "precision farming". This technique is based on the use of technology and information to monitor and manage crops and soil in an optimal way. Instead of applying inputs such as water, fertilisers and pesticides in a generalised manner, precision farming allows for a more targeted and precise application.
Superabsorbent Polymers (SAP) can be classified from different perspectives: 1. Morphological Structures: SAP can be categorized as powders, particles, fibers, spheres, emulsions, and membranes. These structural variations are designed to meet diverse application requirements. For example, powders can be used in the production of sanitary napkins and diapers by incorp...
