摘要：
Mostly used to prevent diapers from leaking by soaking up urine, superabsorbent polymers (SAPs)are proving to be one of the most successful chemicals ever developed. Research and analysis company Statista , New York City, predicts their market value to reach $70.4 billion by 2024. However, the manufacture of SAPs is largely fossil-fuel-based. So, the hunt is on for sustainable raw materials.
