Abstract
This disclosure relates to a method for preparing super absorbent polymer. The method for preparing super absorbent polymer according to the present invention comprises the steps of performing photopolymerization of a monomer composition comprising water soluble ethylene unsaturated monomers, a thermal polymerization initiator and a photopolymerization initiator at a temperature of 30 to 55° C.; performing a thermal polymerization and a photopolymerization at a temperature of 55 to 120° C. to form a hydrogel polymer; and drying the hydrogel polymer. According to the present invention, by comprising two polymerization steps including performing photopolymerization at low temperature and then performing thermal polymerization or photopolymerization at high temperature, super absorbent polymer having improved physical properties may be obtained.
