Properties and Synthesis of Kaolin / Potassium Polyacrylate / Acrylamide Composite Superabsorbent Resin

Abstract:

The aqueous solution polymerization methods were used for the synthesis of superabsorbent resin. The effects of different experimental factors on synthetic resin water absorbency were investigated in this paper. The variables examined in this study included monomer concentration, neutralization degree, initiator and crosslinker concentration, reaction temperature and time, etc. The maximum absorbencies of distilled and 0.9% saline water are 919 times and 92 times respectively under optimum condition. Analysis from FTIR and SEM shown the polymer molecules can be firmly fixed with kaolin, the bonding of kaolin and polymer is good in CSR.
