increased. With more corn straw, there would be more grafting g points, favoring the grafting reaction, forming a 3D network, thus increasing the water absorptivity. However, the swelling rate and ratio of SH-9 (14% pretreated straw) were higher than those of SH-2 (25% prereated straw), indicating that the increased amount of corn straw may not result in better water absorptivity of hydrogels, because besides cellulose, corn straw contains a lot of lignin and hemicellulose.
