Preparation and Swelling Properties of Organoclay/Super-Absorbent Resin Using Polyacrylonitrile Fiber Wastes

Abstract:

A series of novel organoclay(OMMT)/super-absorbent resin composites were prepared using the waste of PAN fibers at alkaline hydrolysis condition with Al₂(SO₄)₃ as cross-linker. The effects of OMMT content on the chemical structure and degradation of the super-absorbent resin were investigated. The swelling behavior was also evaluated. The swelling rates of super-absorbent resin went up with increasing OMMT loading to 3wt% and then decreased with further increasing OMMT loadings. OMMT-based super-absorbent resin might have potential applications in many areas, such as construction engineering and hygienic products.
