Abstract
A novel poly(acrylic acid)/mica superabsorbent composite was synthesized by graft polymerization reaction between partially neutralized acrylic acid a nd ultrafine mica mineral powder. The water absorbency of the composite is higher than 1 100 g H2O/g. The influence of the neutralization degree of ac rylic acid, as well; as of the amounts of mica and crosslinker on the absor bing properties are discussed in this paper.
