聚丙烯酰胺/凹凸棒土(Attapulgite)纳米复合高吸水性树脂的制备与性能

高吸水性树脂是一种新型功能高分子材料,由于其优越的吸水保水性能,已在农林园艺和生理卫生用品等领域得到了应用,但它仍然存在抗盐性能差、吸水后凝胶强度低等不足．近年来,有机．无机复合高吸水性树脂因具有较高的吸水性能和低廉的生产成本而受到了广泛的关注,使用的无机粘土主要有高岭土、蒙脱土和凹凸棒土等．粘土具有活性基团和键合点,加入到高吸水性树脂三维网络中可以改善树脂的网络结构,提高其综合性能．凹凸棒土是一种含水富镁铝的层链状硅酸盐,相对于其它粘土,它具有很好的抗盐、吸附和胶体性能。     

Study on superabsorbent composite. IV. Effects of organification degree of attapulgite on swelling behaviors of polyacrylamide/organo-attapulgite composites

A novel kind of superabsorbent composite, polyacrylamide/organo-attapulgite, from acrylamide (AM) and attapulgite (APT) was prepared by aqueous polymerization, using N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker and ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator. APT was organified with five different degree of hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (HDTMABr), and the organification degree of APT was proved by FTIR, TGA and XRD. The effects of organification degree of APT on water absorbency and swelling rate of the superabsorbent composite in distilled water and in various saline solutions were investigated in this study. The effect of organification degree on reswelling ability of the superabsorbent composites was also investigated. The results indicate that the organification degree of APT had remarkable influence on swelling behaviors of the superabsorbent composites. The superabsorbent composite acquired its highest water absorbency when the organification degree of APT is 8.02 wt.%.
