AbstractA tough double-network (DN) superabsorbent was synthesized by a two-step method using N,N-methylenebisacrylamide as a covalent cross-linker for one monomer [acrylic acid (AA)], Ca2+ (CaCl2) as an ionic cross-linker for the other monomer (sodium alginate [SA]) and ammonium peroxodisulfate as the redox initiator. The optimized experimental conditions for the absorbency in deionized water were determined according to orthogonal experiments. Unlike conventional chemical cross-linked single-network superabsorbents, SA/poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) DN superabsorbents exhibit superb mechanical properties. Compared with the tensile strength of PAA-only superabsorbents, that of SA/PAA DN superabsorbents showed an approximately 371.9% increase with increasing amount of 6 wt.% SA. We also investigated the capacity of SA/PAA DN superabsorbents to remove heavy metal ions. It was found that the addition of SA can truly increase the metal ion removal capacity of the PAA superabsorbents and that the affinity order was Pb2+>Zn2+.

Poly (acrylic acid)/montmorillonite (PAA/MMT) superabsorbent composites was synthesized by high temperature rapid-induced solvent polymerization reaction. The structure of this composites was investigated by XRD. The relationship between reaction condition and water-absorbing capacity of this composites was researched. The result shows that, when montmorillonite content is less than 5 wt%, PAA/MMT composites is nanophase materials. With the increase of cross linker, neutralization degree of acrylic acid, or montmorillonite content, water-absorbing capacity of prepared composites first rises then decreases. When cross linker content is 0.225 wt%, neutralization degree is 70%, and montmorillonite content is 5 wt%, PAA/MMT composites possess microporous structure and its water-absorbing capacity is 511 times of the solid weight itself.

In the reaction of dianions with poly(methyl methacrylate), only an insignificant amount of insoluble crosslinked product is obtained. If, however, the concentration of grafting dianions approaches that of ester groups, the amount of poly(methyl methacrylate) which may thus be crosslinked becomes quite significant. Dications, too, can bring about crosslinking of only an insignificant number of poly(methyl methacrylate) chains. Carboxylic groups in poly(acrylic acid) react with dianions and dications in an anhydrous medium similarly to ester groups. On the other hand, in the presence of a cocatalytic amount of water dications are more readily bound to carboxylic groups, forming a covalent bond. The relatively highest efficiency was observed in the bond formation between dication and the poly[styrene-alt-(maleic anhydride)], both in an anhydrous medium and in the presence of H2O.
