As such this, in this work, we conducted the synthesis of a new
hydrogel nanocomposite, composed of polyacrylamide (PAAm),
using the biodegradable polysaccharide methylcellulose (MC)
and the clay mineral calcic montmorillonite (MMt) as modifiers.
Such materials were characterized regarding their hydrophilic,
spectroscopic, kinetic, structural, mechanical, morphological, and
thermal properties, and the controlled desorption of the nutrient
urea
