The slow water-absorption speed of starch-based superabsorbent resin (St-SAP) limits its application. In this study, porous St-SAP (P-St-SAP) was prepared by inverse suspension polymerization and supercritical CO drying, the aim is to provide a preparation method of fast absorbent resin. The P-St-SAP at 33 % starch content had an interpenetrating porous structure with macropores, mesopores and micropores, and the surface area, pore volume and average pore diameter were 32.06 m·g, 0.116 cm·g and 21.6 nm, respectively. The water-absorption process included rapid-section, medium-section and slow-section, according with internal diffusion, double-constant and quasi second-order kinetic models, respectively. In the initial 30 s, a water-absorption speed of 262.6 g·g·min in distilled water was much higher than some previous research results, and the equilibrium absorption value of 517.9 g·g in distilled water and 72.9 g·g in 0.9 % saline was better than that of non-porous St-SAP at similar starch content. Moreover, at the same stage the percentage of saline absorption ratio to equilibrium absorption value was 1.0- 2.0 times higher than that of distilled water. These research results indicate that the P-St-SAP has fast water-absorption speed and good salt resistance, which will have greater application prospects in sanitary materials, building concrete pouring, and flood control blocking piping.

Rapid prototyping techniques offer significant advantages in terms of fabrication speed, accessibility, and low cost. This study explores the use of low-cost stereolithographic resins to produce prototypes intended for underwater conditions. The objective is to evaluate the feasibility of different low-cost resin brands by identifying their water absorption percentage and their response in terms of appearance and deformation after prolonged exposure to an underwater environment.

Traditional linear polymer is commonly used for polymer flooding in tertiary oil recovery. However, it faces several problems, such as early injection allocation before use and viscosity reduction caused by high-speed shear. In this paper, a novel method of polymer flooding was proposed by using a super absorbent microsphere emulsion.

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated how sample moisture, extrusion temperature, and screw speed affect the hydration properties of corn gluten meal (CG) and aimed to find optimal conditions for protein solubility and water absorption capacity.
- The best results for reducing water absorption and increasing protein solubility were achieved with specific conditions: 20% moisture, 120°C temperature, and a screw speed of 117 rpm.
- After optimizing extrusion, CG showed structural changes leading to darker color, improved emulsifying capacity, and decreased foaming capacity, suggesting its potential use in various food products like bakery items and dressings.

Evaporative cooling systems have emerged as low-energy consumption alternatives to traditional vapor compression systems for building air conditioning. This study explored the feasibility of utilizing polymeric foamed materials produced through additive manufacturing as wetting materials in evaporative cooling systems. Specifically, two different commercial polylactic acid filaments, each containing a percentage of a chemical blowing agent, were studied.
