Place the dry gel beads in a mesh strainer. Rinse with running water. Pour the rinsed beads into a measuring cup or clear container. Add the water to the gel beads. Make a note (or take a photo) of ...

Noble hydrogel beads based on gelatin and oxidized corn starch were synthesized, and their usefulness and feasibility in treating effluent with dyes were studied in this work. Tartrazine was ...

They wanted to figure out why this was happening, so they took their own hydrogel beads, soaked them in water, and dropped them into pans heated up to about 419 degrees Fahrenheit.

To find out why this was happening, Waitukaitis and his colleagues soaked hydrogel beads, often used in flower arranging, until they were about 99 per cent water by weight and dropped them onto ...
