The current review provides an overview of different types of superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) together with appropriate strategies elaborated to enable their synthesis. The main focus will be on polysaccharide-based, semi-synthetic and 'smart' SAPs along with their derivatives. SAPs have already shown their use in a plethora of applications including diapers, the biomedical field, agriculture, etc.
