POLYSACCHARIDE PHYLLOSILICATE ABSORBENT OR SUPERABSORBENT NANOCOMPOSITE MATERIALS

摘要

The present invention relates to an absorbent or a superabsorbent nanocomposite material comprising a polysaccharide and a phyllosilicate. The polysaccharide component is a biodegradable polysaccharide that is either a self-entangled glass-like polysaccharide or a crosslinked polysaccharide. The phyllosilicate component is either an exfoliation or a semi-exfoliation clay.
