Definitions
- the present invention relates to a superabsorbent composition, a process for producing a superabsorbent composition, the superabsorbent composition obtainable by this process, a composite comprising the superabsorbent composition according to the invention, a process for producing a composite, the composite obtainable by this process, the use of the superabsorbent composition according to the invention chemical products and chemical products comprising the superabsorbent composition or the composite according to the invention.
- Superabsorbents are water-insoluble, crosslinked polymers which are capable of absorbing, and retaining under pressure, large quantities of water, aqueous liquids, in particular body fluids, preferably urine or blood, while swelling and forming hydrogels.
- Superabsorbents preferably absorb at least 100 times their own weight in water. Further details of superabsorbents are disclosed in "Modern Superabsorbent Polymer Technology", F.L. Buchholz, A.T. Graham, Wiley-VCH, 1998 ". By virtue of these characteristic properties, these water-absorbing polymers are mainly incorporated in sanitary articles such as, for example, baby diapers, incontinence products or sanitary napkins.
- the currently commercially available superabsorbents are essentially crosslinked polyacrylic acids or crosslinked starch-acrylic acid graft polymers in which the carboxyl groups are partially neutralized with sodium hydroxide solution or potassium hydroxide solution. These are obtainable by free-radical polymerization of monomeric acrylic acid or salts thereof in the presence of suitable crosslinking agents.
- Different polymerization processes can be used, for example solution polymerization, emulsion polymerization or suspension polymerization.
- water absorbing polymers in particulate form having a particle diameter in a range of 150 to 850 microns are obtained by these different methods, which are then incorporated into the sanitary articles.
- the carboxylate groups in the surface area are post-crosslinked to form a core-shell structure.
- DE-A-4020 780 it is known from DE-A-4020 780 to react the water-absorbing polymers with alkylene carbonates which can react with the carboxyl groups of the polymers.
- permeability is understood to mean the ability to transport liquids added in the swollen state and distribute them in a three-dimensional manner. This process takes place in the swollen polymer gel via capillary transport through spaces between the gel particles. Liquid transport by swollen polymer particles themselves follows the laws of diffusion and is a very slow process which plays no role in the distribution of the liquid in the usage situation of the sanitary article.
- surface postcrosslinking effects an improvement in the absorption under a pressure load, because the postcrosslinking counteracts the known phenomenon of "gel blocking", in which swollen polymer particles stick together and thereby prevent further liquid absorption alone does not improve the interparticular transport of the liquid and thus the permeability.
- DE-A-102 49 821 proposes adding an inorganic sol, for example silicic acid sol, during the surface postcrosslinking in order to improve the permeability of the water-absorbing polymers.
- the object of the present invention was to mitigate or even overcome the disadvantages resulting from the prior art.
