Effect of nanofillers on the spreading behavior of biopolymer materials on urea surface

This paper presented new approach where a new modified biopolymer reinforced with bentonite nanoclay is developed and used as the coating material for controlled-release fertilizer. Good wettability properties between coating material and urea surface is necessary to provide uniformity during the co...
