Absorbent polymers are commonly made from petrochemical starting materials, i.e., acrylic monomers. Special hydrogels as superabsorbent materials are widely employed in hygienic uses particularly disposable diapers and female napkins where they can capture secreted fluids, e.g., urine, blood, etc. Agricultural grade of such hydrogels are used as granules for holding soil moisture in arid areas. The biopolymer-contained Absorbent polymers, however, possess typically higher cost and less performance than their fully synthetic counterparts. Absorbent polymers have created a very attractive area in the viewpoint of super-swelling behaviour, chemistry, and designing the variety of final applications. When working in this field, we always deal with water, aqueous media and bio-related systems. Thus, we increasingly walk in a green area becoming greener via replacing the synthetics with the bio-based materials, e.g., polysaccharides and polypeptides. This, however, is a long-term perspective. More or less, the acrylic kingdom will extend its domination in the future markets. The present article represents a different outlook; it gives an account of all types of SAP materials with a practical viewpoint from structure to usage, based on either the current literature or our long experience on these materials. The main target is appraisal the Absorbent polymers to be useful for either academies or industries.
