Abstract
An absorbent resin composition obtained by copolymerizing in an aqueous solution a mixture of 100 parts by weight of an acrylate salt monomer (B) composed of 0 to 50 mol % of acrylic acid and 50 to 100 mol % of an alkali metal acrylate and 0.001 to 5 part by weight of a crosslinkable monomer (C) having 2 to 4 groups selected from the group consisting of CH.sub.2 .dbd.CHCO--, CH.sub.2 .dbd.C(CH.sub.3)C0-- and CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH-CH.sub.2 -- in the molecule in the presence of at least one surface-active agent (A) selected from the group consisting of water-soluble surface-active agents and water-dispersible surface-active agents in the presence of a water-soluble radical polymerization initiator while maintaining the initial concentration of said mixture in the range of from 25% by weight to saturation, and then drying the resulting gel-like hydrous polymer under heat; and an absorbent resin composition obtained by pulverizing said absorbent resin composition to form a resin powder, and blending said resin powder with 0.01 to 10 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of said resin powder, of ultra-microscopic silica having a specific surface area, measured by the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, of at least 50 m.sup.2 /g and a particle diameter of not more than about 0.05 micron: and a process for producing the same.
