Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a water-absorptive material having a satisfactory water-absorptivity in an ion-exchanged water as well as an ionic aqueous solution and also having a satisfactory thermoplastic moldability, and also to provide a water-absorptive molded product having an excellent fabricability including heat-sealability. Thus, the present invention provides a water-absorptive material crosslinked by irradiation with an ionizing radiation or ultraviolet rays, which comprises a hydrophilic high molecular compound having a weight average molecular weight of at least 10,000 obtained by reaction of (i) a polyalkylene oxide compound having an organic compound containing two active hydrogen groups addition-polymerized with an alkylene oxide comprising ethylene oxide as the main component and (ii) a polycarboxylic acid, a polycarboxylic acid anhydride, a lower alkyl ester of polycarboxylic acid or a diisocyanate.
