The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing a super absorbent polymer. More specifically, the above method performs a polymerization reaction of a monomer in the presence of an aqueous dispersion of hydrophobic particles, and thus a super absorbent polymer having a high surface tension and an improved absorption rate can be prepared without deterioration in absorption properties.

Method for preparing super absorbent polymer

The present disclosure relates to a super absorbent polymer and a method for preparing the same. More specifically, it relates to a super absorbent polymer including a plurality of micropores, specifically an average of 7 or more micropores per particle, having an average diameter of 100 μm or less and a maximum diameter of 300 μm or less, and thus exhibiting an improved absorption rate and a high surface tension, and a method for preparing the super absorbent polymer.

Super absorbent polymer and preparation method thereof

A method of preparing a superabsorbent polymer includes preparing a base resin in which an acrylic acid-based monomer having acidic groups which are at least partially neutralized and an internal crosslinking agent are crosslinked; and heating the base resin in the presence of a surface crosslinking agent to carry out surface modification of the base resin, wherein the internal crosslinking agent includes a first epoxy crosslinking agent having an epoxy equivalent weight of 100 g/eq or more to less than 130 g/eq, and a second epoxy crosslinking agent having an epoxy equivalent weight of 130 g/eq or more. A superabsorbent polymer having improved rewetting property liquid permeability is also provided.

Superabsorbent polymer and preparation method for the same

A method of preparing a superabsorbent polymer includes preparing a base resin in which an acrylic acid-based monomer having acidic groups which are at least partially neutralized and an internal crosslinking agent are crosslinked in the presence of a sodium polycarboxylate surfactant; and heating the base resin in the presence of a surface crosslinking agent to carry out surface modification of the base resin, wherein the internal crosslinking agent includes a first epoxy crosslinking agent having an epoxy equivalent weight of 100 g/eq or more to less than 130 g/eq, and a second epoxy crosslinking agent having an epoxy equivalent weight of 130 g/eq or more. The superabsorbent polymer provides improved rewetting property and liquid permeability.
