Abstract
In this work, a novel poly(acrylic acid‐co‐N‐acryloylmorpholine)/attapulgite superabsorbent composite was prepared by graft copolymerization among acrylic acid, N‐acryloylmorpholine and attapulgite in aqueous solution, using N,N′‐methylenebisacrylamide as a crosslinker and ammonium persulfate as an initiator. The result from FTIR spectra showed that OH of attapulgite participated in graft copolymerization with acrylic acid and N‐acryloylmorpholine. Proper monomer ratio and atapulgite content could form a loose surface, and improve reswelling ability and initial swelling rate. The buffer action of the COOH and COO^−^ groups in the superabsorbent composite keeps the water absorbency a rough constant in the pH range of 4.4–9.6. Both polarity and structure of an organic solvent are responsible for the phase transition point of the superabsorbent composite. POLYM. COMPOS., 2010. © 2009 Society of Plastics Engineers
