  • Patent number: 9879122
    Abstract: A super-absorbent polymer satisfying Equation 1 exhibits remarkably improved shape rupture under pressure while maintaining excellent absorption ability. The super-absorbent polymer may be prepared by preparing a base resin by polymerizing a polymeric compound containing an acrylic monomer by using a polyfunctional nitroxide mediated radical polymerization initiator, substituting a terminal of the polymer prepared in the polymerization step with maleic anhydride, cross-linking each maleic anhydride terminal of different polymers prepared in the substitution step by using alkylenediamine having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, drying and grinding the base resin, and surface cross-linking the ground base resin.

  • Patent number: 9669384
    Abstract: Disclosed are a water-absorbing resin and a method of preparing the same, wherein absorbency under unload of the water-absorbing resin is 25 g/g or more, the absorbency under load is 20 g/g or more, and an increase in extractables at a high temperature represented by Equation 1 ranges from 1 or more but less than 3, thereby it is possible to solve a problem that gel-blocking of the water-absorbing resin is accelerated at a high temperature, and improve absorption rate and dry efficiency of the water-absorbing resin.

  • Publication number: 20160220981
    Abstract: A water-absorbing resin and a method of preparing the same, and more specifically, to a method of preparing the water-absorbing resin includes crosslinking and polymerization of an unsaturated monomer including an acrylic acid monomer in the presence of a first internal crosslinking agent and a second internal crosslinking agent having a lower reactivity than the first internal crosslinking agent, thereby preparing a water-absorbing resin having significantly improved absorbency due to a uniform crosslinking structure and a suitable degree of crosslinking.

  • Publication number: 20160220724
    Abstract: An absorbent polymer has an absorbency under pressure (AUL) ranging from 20 to 45 g/g; a phase angle (67 ) of swollen gel ranging from 3 to 30 degrees; and a decrease in phase angle ranging from 3 to 35%. Thereby, the absorbent polymer may have favorable gel elasticity under pressure after swelling, so as to reduce adhesion between swollen particles. Accordingly, even after absorbing the liquid to swell the absorbent polymer, the polymer may maintain excellent flow conductivity, thereby reducing a decrease in absorption ability of the absorbent polymer.
