eng Modification of Hydrogel Using Collagen and Nanostructured Clay Recently various eco-friendly products and technologies are developed in the world to replace environment threatening ones. In the field of superabsorbent materials the efforts are directed to substitute synthetic polymers for natural materials or a combination of these two groups of substances. Prepared samples were examined under an optical microscope and compared with non-encapsulate gel. The samples were also tested for swelling in saturated solution of (NH4)2SO4 and KNO3. Rate of ammonium sulfate or potassium nitrate release from modified hydrogel was measured using conductivity test during immersion samples in distilled water. Nanostructure Clay;Collagen;Hydrogel
