✦ Synopsis


Hydrogels with varying crosslinking ratio and ionic content were prepared by copolymerization of acrylamide (AM), sodium methallylsulfonate (MSAS), sodium acrylate (AA), and N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (BisA) in aqueous solution using potassium persulfate (KPS)/N,N,N,N-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) as initiator. The influences of synthetic variables (reaction time, crosslinker concentration, monomer concentration, initiator concentration, temperature, and pH) on the polymerization conversion ( y %) and water absorbency ( Q) were studied in detail. These gels, which absorbed about 125 times their own weight in distilled water, have potential application as water superabsorbents.

## Abstract In a previous study, we prepared a series of xerogels based on sodium acrylate (NaA) and 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA, OE = 1) or poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA, OE = 6) with different oxyethylene (OE) units. The effect of the contents of HEMA and PEGMA in the copolymeri
