A process for preparing water-absorbing polymer beads by polymerizing droplets comprising at least one monomer in a gas phase surrounding the droplets, the droplets being obtained by enveloping a first monomer solution with a second monomer solution and polymerizing the second monomer solution and polymerizing to give a more highly crosslinked polymer than the first monomer solution.

Method for the production of absorbent polymer particles by polymerizing drops of a monomer solution

This invention relates to a feminine hygiene absorbent article comprising superabsorbent foams obtainable by foaming an aqueous mixture comprising at least one monoethylenically unsaturated monomer bearing acid groups, at least one blowing agent, at least one crosslinker and at least one surfactant, polymerizing the foamed mixture and drying the polymerized mixture, to the foams and also to their use for absorbing aqueous fluids.
