【発明の詳細な説明】
〔発明の背景〕
〔産業上の利用分野〕
本発明は、吸水性に優れかつ吸水したゲルが光に当って
も極めて安定な吸水性樹脂の製造法に関するものである
。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Background of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a method for producing a water-absorbing resin that has excellent water absorption and is extremely stable even when the absorbed gel is exposed to light. .
本発明の耐光性吸水性樹脂は、多量の水を吸収して膨潤
するが水不溶性でありかつ吸水したゲルが光に対して極
めて安定であるものであるから、各種の吸水剤又は特に
吸水して膨潤した状態で使用する各種の材料の製造に有
利に使用することができる。The light-resistant water-absorbing resin of the present invention absorbs a large amount of water and swells, but is water-insoluble and the absorbed gel is extremely stable against light. It can be advantageously used in the production of various materials that are used in a swollen state.
近年、自重の数十〜数百倍もの水を吸収する高吸水性の
種々の高分子材料が提案されている。In recent years, various highly water-absorbent polymeric materials that absorb water tens to hundreds of times their own weight have been proposed.
例えば、澱粉グラフト重合体(特公昭53−46199
号公報等)、セルロース変性材(特開昭50−8037
6号公報等)、水溶性高分子の架橋物(特公昭43−2
3462号公報等)、自己架橋型アクリル酸アルカリ金
属塩ポリマー(特公昭54−30710号公報等)、等
々であり、これらは生理用品、使いすて紙おむつ等の吸
収剤として、あるいは農園芸用の保水剤、汚泥の凝固剤
、建材の結露防止剤、土木用止水剤、乾燥剤等として用

場合、大きな障害となっている。However, although these superabsorbent polymer materials have an excellent ability to absorb a large amount of water and excellent stability over time when dry, they have extremely poor stability when water is absorbed. For example, if a gel-like material that absorbs water is exposed to sunlight, it will deteriorate and become fluid in just a few hours.
It becomes impossible to maintain the form of the gel-like product, which is a major problem especially when the above-mentioned superabsorbent resins are used in water retention agents for agriculture and horticulture, water stop agents for civil engineering, and the like.
