Safety and Performance Evaluation of pH-Responsive Polymer Microencapsulation in Menstrual Hygiene Products Chintan Madhu, Bharat Patel Chemistryselect, 2026 Effective menstrual hygiene management (MHM) is crucial for adolescent girls and women, yet conventional sanitary napkins present health, environmental, and cost‐related challenges. This study reports the synthesis of pH‐responsive superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) via free radical copolymerization of selected monomers for seven formulations followed by microencapsulation with n‐eicosane (mSAPs) for application in hygienic textiles. The polymers were characterized using FT‐IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and particle size analysis. All formulations (SAP/mSAP‐1C to SAP/mSAP‐7C) were evaluated for free swell capacity (FSC), absorption under load (AUL), wet back, wicking height, pH responsiveness, and reusability. The optimized mSAP formulation exhibited excellent swelling capacity (FSC: 106.55 g/g) and minimal wet back (0.26 g), outperforming commercial products in absorbency and comfort. AUL values exceeded 98%, confirming strong gel stability. Effluent analysis (hardness, alkalinity, chloride, COD, BOD) confirmed acceptable discharge quality. Safety assessments—and HRIPT (sample size n = 105)—showed no skin irritation or sensitization in normal and sensitive skin. Although absorption decreased in saline solutions due to ionic charge screening, the prepared SAPs and mSAPs demonstrated significant potential for hygienic applications. Despite their promising performance, the non‐biodegradable nature of these polymers highlights the need for eco‐friendly modifications and sustainable disposal strategies.

Present scenario and futuristic applications of nanomaterial-based products in the industry—A review C. J. Panchal, B. H. Patel Characterization and Application of Nanomaterials, 2025 The article’s proposed engineering uses are based on theories presented in the reviewed research articles and on findings from online investigations into companies that claim to use nanoengineering in their wares. Several pre-existing online consumer inventories and nanotechnology news were examined as part of the internet inquiry. The data about the nanoparticles (NP), or nanostructure, used in commercially available products comes from the remarks made by the manufacturer. Nanoengineered coating agents and textile additives are examples of commercial items developed for industrial clients that fall under the aforementioned uses.
