In this paper, the authors discuss the results of research on the preparation and properties of superabsorbent hydrogels based on carboxymethylated high-amylose corn starches. They were obtained by graft copolymerisation (in an aqueous environment) of acrylic acid and its sodium salt onto modified starches (with various substitution degrees DS = 0.2 and 0.8), using potassium persulfate as an initiator and N,N’-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a cross-linker. Modified starches, with various DS, were used to synthesise two series of hydrogels with varying molar ratios of cross-linkers to monomers. The swelling behaviour of hydrogels was studied and their properties were estimated using the kinetic equation. The occurrence of starch–polyacrylic acid covalent interactions was demonstrated by FTIR analysis. Nonlinear rheological methods have proved to be very effective in assessing the mechanical properties of hydrogels. LAOS (large -amplitude oscillatory shear) analysis allowed the determination of the durability of the gel structure as a function of the amount of absorbed water.
