Abstract
Water absorbing materials on the basis of acrylamide copolymers have been i nvestigated. The cross-linking of polymer chains strongly effects the degre e of water absorption. The influence of starting composition of polyacrylam ide : sodium hydroxide, duration of hydrolysis and irradiation conditions o n cross-linking have been determined and optimized technological parameters have been derived. Water super absorbents with the ability to absorb up to 900g water by one gram material have been prepared.
