Description
This publication discusses the theoretical aspects of absorbency as well as the structure, properties and performance of materials.
The chapters are arranged in an approach for the reader to advance progressively through fundamental theories of absorbency to more practical
aspects of the technology. Topics covered include scientific principles of absorbency and structure property relationships; material
technology including super absorbents, non-woven, natural and synthetic fibres and surfactants; absorbency measurement techniques and
technology perspective. The reader is provided with current status information on technology and is also informed on important developments
within the field.
Audience
For both academic and industrial scientists and engineers engaged in research and development on absorbency and absorbent products.
