Quick‐response polymer humidity control composites and application in preservation of fruits and vegetables

A novel intelligent moisture‐controlling polymer composite (IMCPC) with fast response humidity control performance, which can be applied in refrigerators for edible fruits and vegetables, was prepared by intercalation polymerization of acrylamide (AM) with sepiolite. The performance of the resulted IMCPCs was investigated. The results show that vacuum freeze‐dried polyacrylamide/sepiolite composite has a porous structure and excellent moisture...
