Absorbent boronate-galactomannan complexes comprising a hydrophobic group are disclosed. The boronate-galactomannan complexes are solid materials capable of gel forming upon contacting with liquids. The boronate-galactomannan complexes are particularly suitable for absorbing liquids.

Absorbent hydrophobic boronate galactomannan complexes and process for producing same

The present invention relates to discrete particulate composite additives for superabsorbent polymers and includes a method of making same. The discrete particulate composite additives generally comprise a polysaccharide and an inert inorganic component. Advantageously, these discrete particulate composite additives functionally improve superabsorbent performance. They are suitable for a number of applications, including the use and manufacture of hygiene products.

Polysaccharide-inorganic composite particles as performance additives for super-absorbent polymers

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