We compared the effects of hydrophilic polymer amendments on drought and salt tolerance of Metasequoia glyptostroboides Hu and W.C.Cheng seedlings using commercially available Stockosorb and Luquasorb synthetic hydrogels and a biopolymer, Konjac glucomannan (KGM). Drought, salinity, or the combined stress of both drought and salinity caused growth retardation and leaf injury in M. glyptostroboides. Under a range of simulated stress conditions, biopolymers and synthetic hydrogels alleviated growth inhibition and leaf injury, improved photosynthesis, and enhanced whole-plant and unit transpiration. For plants subjected to drought conditions, Stockosorb hydrogel amendment specifically caused a remarkable increase in water supply to roots due to the water retention capacity of the granular polymer. Under saline stress, hydrophilic polymers restricted Na+ and Cl− concentrations in roots and leaves. Moreover, root K+ uptake resulted from K+ enrichment in Stockosorb and Luquasorb granules. Synthetic polymers and biopolymers increased the ability of M. glyptostroboides to tolerate combined impacts of drought and salt stress due to their water- and salt-bearing capacities. Similar to the synthetic polymers, the biopolymer also enhanced M. glyptostroboides drought and salt stress tolerance.

Design and preparation of synthetic hydrogels for biomedical use as wound dressings were studied. A partially hydrated hydrogel of sodium salt of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (Na-AMPS) was prepared by redox initiation via free radical polymerisation in aqueous solution. In this reaction, of 40% w/v Na-AMPS aqueous solution was prepared, with 1.0% by mole of monomer ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDM) as crosslinker, and potassium persulfate (K2S2O8) as the free radical initiator at a concentration of 0.5% mol monomer with potassium metabisulfite (K2S2O5) and ferrous sulphate (FeSO4) as coinitiator. The results showed that the hydrogel sheets gave good coherency, transparency, flexibility, high oxygen permeability, good skin adhesion and were non-toxic. The water properties of the hydrogel sheets (absorption, retention, water vapour transmission rate) were balanced which can maintain the moist environment of the wound. It is concluded that Na-AMPS hydrogels have properties which show potential for biomedical use as a wound dressing for second degree burn.
