The superbiOmAT project aims to develop superabsorbent materials from oat protein, addressing environmental concerns associated with traditional petroleum-based materials. The project focuses on enhancing water retention and exploring various applications for these bio-based materials.
Superabsorbent materials (SAMs) can absorb and retain large amounts of water (>10 times their weight).
Hence, they have many applications, such as soil conditioners, diapers, menstrual pads, and wound dressings.
Thus, in 2021 SAMs global market was valued at $8.6 billion.
However, one of the main concerns about their use is that they are often based on acrylic acid and polyacrylamide, which are petroleum-derived, difficult to degrade, and their degradation products could be toxic.
The superbiOmA…
