Abstract

Herein, an effective approach was used for the fabrication of stimuli-responsive semi-IPNs based on gum Salai guggal under different reaction conditions, i.e., In-air, microwave, and gamma radiations. The synthesized semi-IPN Sg-cl-polyAAm-Gm increases the moisture retention period of sand, clay, and mixture of both the soils upto 48, 56, and 52 days, respectively. Further, the semi-PNs showed swelling in alkaline and shrinking in acidic pH solutions. Therefore, the pH-responsive pulsatile swelling behavior suggested that the semi-IPNs can be effectively utilized to enhance the moisture level in the soil. The semi-IPN Sg-cl-poly(AAm)-MW fabricated under microwave reaction conditions showed 91.49% weight loss after 70 days through vermi-composting method of biodegradation. FTIR and SEM analysis depicted the possible stages of biodegradations through bio-composting, soil burial, and the vermi-composting methods of biodegradation. The soil carrying degraded semi-IPNs increases the shoot length, root length, fresh and dry plant weight in case of Vigna unguiculata subsp, and for Cicer arietinum plant species. Further, the semi-IPN matrices showed sustained release of urea and provided an alternate solution to overcome the excessive wastage of agrochemicals for moving towards sustainable agriculture practices.

半ipn的制备、性能及对比分析，用于促进植物生长和土壤调理

本文采用了一种有效的方法，在不同的反应条件下，即空气、微波和伽马辐射下，制备了基于沙棘的刺激响应半ipn。合成的半ipn Sg-cl-polyAAm-Gm使砂、粘土和两者的混合物的保水期分别达到48、56和52天。半pns在碱性溶液中肿胀，在酸性溶液中收缩。因此，ph响应的脉动膨胀行为表明，半ipns可以有效地用于提高土壤水分水平。微波反应条件下制备的半ipn Sg-cl-poly(AAm)-MW经蚯蚓堆肥法生物降解，70天后失重91.49%。FTIR和SEM分析描述了通过生物堆肥、土壤掩埋和蚯蚓堆肥等生物降解方法进行生物降解的可能阶段。土壤中携带降解的半ipn可显著增加马蹄莲亚种（Vigna unguiculata subsp）和西芹（Cicer arietinum）的茎长、根长、鲜重和干重。此外，半ipn基质显示出尿素的持续释放，并为实现可持续农业实践提供了克服农用化学品过度浪费的替代解决方案。图形抽象

期刊介绍： Cellulose is an international journal devoted to the dissemination of research and scientific and technological progress in the field of cellulose and related naturally occurring polymers. The journal is concerned with the pure and applied science of cellulose and related materials, and also with the development of relevant new technologies. This includes the chemistry, biochemistry, physics and materials science of cellulose and its sources, including wood and other biomass resources, and their derivatives. Coverage extends to the conversion of these polymers and resources into manufactured goods, such as pulp, paper, textiles, and manufactured as well natural fibers, and to the chemistry of materials used in their processing. Cellulose publishes review articles, research papers, and technical notes.
