  • Patent number: 4735987
    Abstract: This invention provides a method for the manufacture of a high-expansion type absorbent polymer by first causing an absorbent polymer which is obtained by polymerization of a monomer and is possessed of an alkali salt of acrylic acid as a component of polymer to be cross-linked at the time of azeotropic dehydration thereof with a cross-linking agent possessing two or more functional groups in the presence of an inorganic salt and subsequently drying the cross-linked polymer. By the method of this invention, there can be obtained a high-expansion type absorbent material which absorbs water quickly and forms a gel not viscid but permeable to gas. This absorbent material is highly advantageously used as absorbent for sanitary materials free from leaking water and as a water-retaining agent for agricultural applications hardly causing rotton plant roots.
