Nyob rau xyoo 1960, super absorbent polymers tau tshawb pom tias muaj cov khoom nqus dej zoo heev thiab tau ua tiav hauv kev tsim cov pawm menyuam yaus. Nrog kev txhim kho txuas ntxiv ntawm kev tshawb fawb thiab thev naus laus zis, kev ua haujlwm ntawm super absorbent polymer kuj tau txhim kho ntxiv. Niaj hnub no, nws tau dhau los ua cov khoom siv uas muaj peev xwm nqus dej super thiab ruaj khov, dav siv hauv kev kho mob, kev ua liaj ua teb, kev tiv thaiv ib puag ncig, thiab kev lag luam, ua kom yooj yim rau ntau yam lag luam.
