  • Publication number: 20240042416
    Abstract: The present application relates to a superabsorbent polymer and a method for producing the same. The superabsorbent polymer comprises a core structure, a shell layer covering the core structure and a fiber-modified layer covering an outer surface of the shell layer. With the fiber-modified layer, the superabsorbent polymer not only has good water absorption properties, but also has excellent liquid permeability and permeability.

  • Patent number: 11815777
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electronically-controlled automatic light-shading device, comprising a first glass substrate, a light-shading coating, a polarizing element and a second glass substrate. An image module and a photosensitive element adjacent thereto are embedded in the first glass substrate. The first glass substrate has a first surface on the opposite side to an external light source. The light-shielding coating is applied on the first surface. The polarizing element is disposed on the light-shielding coating. The second glass substrate has a second surface facing the first surface. A plurality of spacers in contact with the polarizing element are disposed on the second surface, and an optical fiber element is disposed in each spacer.

  • Publication number: 20230049825
    Abstract: A superabsorbent polymers and a method of forming the same are provided. The method is processed by adding calcined shell powders to a free radical polymerization. The superabsorbent polymers with more micropores can be obtained. Therefore, absorptivity and permeability for the liquid of the superabsorbent polymers are increased, and diffusibility and liquid conductivity of the superabsorbent polymers are also improved.
