“…Furthermore, the carbon fixation rate in the early stage of plant growth and utilization efficiency of granular fertilizer ,, can also be improved. On the basis of the literature analysis, it is apparent that to improve SAP water capacity, more ionic functional groups (i.e., −OH, −NH 2 , −COOH, −SO 3 H) need to be included, , whereas to improve the salt resistance, zwitterionic groups are needed. , Along with total absorption capacity and salt resistance, other important factors for ideal SAP such as good absorption under load, higher mechanical properties, and absorption rate have been investigated, and synthetic factors affecting these have been correlated in Table .…”
