  • HYDROGELS AS RHEOLOGY MODIFIERS AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20240147992
    Abstract: Hydrogels are blended with water to produce a hydrogel solution. Viscosity of the hydrogel solution is controlled by adjusting the ratio of hydrogel to water and/or by adjusting the blending conditions. The hydrogel solutions may be used to modify the rheology of agricultural compositions. The hydrogel may include lactose, which may be provided by a milk permeate waste stream from the dairy or food processing industry.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 5, 2024
    Publication date: May 9, 2024
    Inventors: Danny Brown, Christine Colby, Lillian Magidow, Megan Barta
  • Hydrogels as carriers of active ingredients and methods of producing the same
    Patent number: 11968976
    Abstract: Active ingredient-carrying hydrogels include at least a hydrogel and an active ingredient. The active ingredient is released from the hydrogel onto an agricultural substrate or at an agricultural site in a controlled manner. The hydrogel may include lactose, which may be provided by a milk permeate waste stream from the dairy or food processing industry.
