dc.description.abstract |
Super absorbent textile materials are materials that have been developed to have the ability to absorb and hold large amounts of liquid in comparison to their own weight. The super-absorbent textile structure is a type of textile that incorporates super-absorbent polymers (SAPs) into its fibers or yarns[1]. Superabsorbent textiles can be produced in various ways. The properties of super absorbent textiles can be further enhanced by incorporating other functional materials, such as antimicrobial agents, into the fibers or yarns. The amount of time it takes for the sample to absorb a specific volume of distilled or deionized water involves the determination of the absorption capacity of the material. The hydrophobic or hydrophilic nature of certain materials is mainly influenced by the chemical groups that are present[3]. However, the capillary radius and water viscosity of a textile structure determine its absorbency and wicking ability. |
