Synthesis and performance of CMC/PAM-based interpenetrating network hydrogels for targeted urea delivery

EGEhab S. GadSASaad AlrashdiEEElsayed M. Elnaggar

Key Points

  • The objective is to develop CMC/PAM interpenetrating network hydrogels for effective urea delivery in agriculture.
  • Synthesis of CMC/PAM hydrogels via free-radical polymerization
  • Characterization using FTIR, XRD, TGA, and SEM
  • Evaluation of urea release kinetics
  • Hydrogels confirmed as suitable slow-release fertilizer matrices
  • Demonstrated effective and controlled urea release characteristics

Abstract

CMC/PAM IPN hydrogels were successfully prepared by free-radical polymerization. FTIR, XRD, TGA, and SEM confirmed. Urea release kinetics establishing the hydrogel as a slow-release fertilizer matrix for agriculture applications.
