Enhanced Absorbent Products Incorporating Cellulose and Its Derivatives: A Review

Cellulose and some cellulose derivatives can play vital roles in the enhancement of the performance of absorbent products. null Cellulose itself, in the form of cellulosic fibers or nano-fibers, can provide structure, bulk, water-holding capacity, and channeling of fluids over a wide dimensional range. null Likewise, cellulose derivatives such as carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) have been widely studied as components in superabsorbent polymer (SAP)...
