Superabsorbent polymer materials have recently caught the attention of research circles to be used as coating materials to produce CRU. This review portrays recent advancements on the use of superabsorbent polymer materials to produce CRU with special focus on release experiments. © 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84914142245&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMM.625.761&partnerID=40&md5=d2cf52d222e0c651854197da1315d7b8 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.625.761 full_text_status: none publication: Applied Mechanics and Materials volume: 625 pagerange: 761-765 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783038351818 issn: 16609336 citation: Azeem, B. and Kushaari, K. and Man, Z. and Subbarao, D.
