A high-throughput process for the manufacture of absorbent unexpanded glass-like polysaccharides is disclosed. The process comprises the use of a twin screw extruder having turbulence and kneading sections, the kneading sections being located downstream from the turbulence sections.

Process for the manufacture of unexpanded glass-like polysaccharides

The present invention relates to discrete particulate composite additives for superabsorbent polymers and includes a method of making same. The discrete particulate composite additives generally comprise a polysaccharide and an inert inorganic component. Advantageously, these discrete particulate composite additives functionally improve superabsorbent performance. They are suitable for a number of applications, including the use and manufacture of hygiene products.

Polysaccharide-inorganic composite particles as performance additives for super-absorbent polymers

Surface-treated carboxyalkylated polysaccharides comprising a biobased content of at least 82% are described herein. The surface-treated carboxyalkylated polysaccharides comprise a CRC of at least 18 g/g, a FSC of at least 26 g/g, and an AUL at 0.7 psi of at least 14 g/g. Processes for the manufacture of surface-treated carboxyalkylated polysaccharides are also described herein.
