Disposable diapers' secret sauce useful for un-soaking books

Super Slurper, the super-absorbent compound found in disposable diapers, is being repurposed for use in drying out books that have been flood-damaged:

"Around 250,000 books are damaged each year in the United States by water from flooding or burst pipes," Yeager said…

"With Super Slurper it takes roughly 10 minutes to dry each book. It's a quantum leap in the amount of time," Yeager said.
