Superabsorbent Multilayer Fabric
Material contains gel-forming polymer and copolymer that absorb from 70 to 200 times their weight of liquid. Superabsorbent Polymer and Copolymer form gels to bind and retain liquid in multiply fabric. Until reaction between liquid and absorbent masses forms gel, backing layer retains liquids within fabric; also allows material to "breathe." Possible applications include baby diapers, female hygiene napkins, and hospital bedpads. Might also have uses in improvement of dry soil.
