TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between various parameters of superabsorbent polymers, including the ultimate degree of absorption and rate of absorption, and the ratio of crosslinker to monomer for different polymerisation systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the particle size distributions of products made by inverse suspension polymerization were determined and the dependence of absorption characteristics on particle size was investigated and the importance of particle morphology in optimising superabsorbent performance was drawn attention.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of varying the heat input and the initiator concentration on superabsorbent polymers based on acrylic monomers were explored using a simple, small scale laboratory version of the polymerization part of this process which permits contact with air and evaporative losses.
