Synthesis of Superabsorbent Polymer via Inverse Suspension Method: Effect of Carbon Filler

This paper studies on the effect of the addition of carbon filler towards the performance of superabsorbent polymer composite (SAPc). In this work, the SAPc was synthesized using inverse suspension polymerization method. The process involved two different solutions; dispersed phase which contains pa...
