Abstract

The development of environmentally-friendly materials for the growing superabsorbent polymer industry is essential. In article number 2000110, Antonio Jose Capezza, Mikael Stefan Hedenqvist, and co-workers use a readily available protein co-stream functionalized with green and harmless reagents as a sustainable alternative for the fabrication of liquid-absorbent materials. The potential applications are many, and include single-use disposable products such as diapers.
