A superabsorbent polymer (SAP) was synthesized by copolymerizing itaconic acid and vinyl sulfonic acid. The typically low absorbency of itaconic acid-based SAPs under mechanical loads was improved by introducing surface crosslinking. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the synthesis and surface-crosslinking reactions in the SAP. Various conditions for surface-crosslinking reactions, such as the surface-crosslinking solution, content of surface-crosslinking agent, and reaction temperature, were explored and correlated with the gel strength and absorption characteristics of the resulting SAP particles. The distilled water content in the surface-crosslinking solution strongly influenced the absorption capacity of the SAP, but this sensitivity decreased when acetone was used as a co-solvent. Itaconic acid-based SAP that was crosslinked under optimal conditions exhibited centrifuge retention capacity and absorbency under a load of 31.1 and 20.2, respectively.

Herein, core-superabsorbent polymer (CSAP) composites are prepared from oxidized starch (OS) via aqueous solution copolymerization using ammonium persulfate as the initiator, and 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate as the inner-crosslinker. The surface-crosslinking process is performed using various surface-crosslinkers, including bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE), poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE), ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDGE), and diglycidyl ether (DGE). The structures of the CSAP composites and their surface-crosslinked SAPs (SSAPs) are characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, their absorption properties are measured via centrifuge retention capacity (CRC), absorbency under load (AUL), permeability, and re-swellability tests, and their gel strengths according to surface-crosslinker type and EGDGE content are examined via rheological analysis. The results indicate that an EGDGE content of 0.75 mol provides the optimum surface-crosslinking and SSAP performance, with a CRC of 34.8 g/g, an AUL of 27.2 g/g, and a permeability of 43 s. The surface-crosslinking of the CSAP composites using OS is shown to improve the gel strength, thus enabling the SAP to be used in disposable diapers.

The maleic acid ( MA )2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) and acrylamide (PAMPS/AM/MA) superabsorbent copolymer was synthesized by aqueous solution polymerization with ammonium persulfate as initiator,N,N-methylene-bisacrylamide ( NMBA) as crosslinking agent. The influence of pH,mass ratio of AMPS to acrylamide ( AM) ,the amount of crosslinking agent and initiator,and reaction temperature on the absorption capability of water and salt solution were investigated. The results show that the water absorbency of the superabsorbent polymer prepared at the optimum condition in deionized water and in 0.9% NaCl solution is about 235 and 132g/g,respectively,and under the same conditions,the sample has more excellent water absorption and salt-resistance.
