Question

What does "diapers"  mean in the following sentence? tnx
Such nanocomposite super-adsorbents can be used in diapers, and could potentially beused for the remediation of contaminated ground water

Answer

Diapers are absorbent material used on babys to retain urine and poo (faeces)
Because of the material in them, traditional diapers/baby nappies can eventually contaminate groundwater  when they are disposed as rubbish.
These diapers/baby nappies contain less hazardous material (the article claims)

Answer

These are nappies in the UK, used mostly with babies.

Answer

Thanks Austin

Answer

Diapers are baby diapers.  This new material will make the absorbent better if it is used to make the baby diapers.
