Waterlock superabsorbing polymer

Another variation on the luminol CL sensor for N02 was introduced by Collins and Ross-Pehrsson [12] where a solid-phase reagent was positioned below a PMT, across which the air under test is pumped. Of the hydrogel or polymeric sorbents investigated, a Waterlock superabsorbing polymer (hydrogel)... 

The polyacrylate (known as a superabsorbent polymer or SAP by the diaper industry) is distributed throughout the fluff pulp. Another name for these crystals is Waterlock . It is also used for plants to help retain water in the soil. The polyacrylate under pressure can hold an amount of liquid that is as much as thirty times its weight. This correlates to the compression (pressure) that occurs when a baby would sit or lie on the diaper. The polyacrylate allowed the manufacturers to reduce both the weight and thickness of the diaper by 50 percent and increase its absorbency.
