A novel superabsorbent composite has been prepared via aqueous solution polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) in the presence of PVP modified bentonite powder using N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker and potassium persulfate (KPS) as an initiator. The amount of PVP modified bentonite in the superabsorbent affected on the ultimate water absorbency was optimized, and the swelling kinetics and water retention ability were systematically investigated. The composite structure was determined by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TG) and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that the superabsorbents with PVP modified bentonite own superior water-swelling capability and water retention ability.

Abstract Superabsorbent polymers have important applications in many fields, but insufficiency of water/salt absorbency, water retention, and swelling rate limit its application development. Herein, we fabricated HEC-g-P (AA-co-AMPS)/laterite by aqueous solution polymerization, the structure and morphology of the superabsorbent polymer were characterized by FTIR, SEM and TG/DTG. The optimal water absorbency of the superabsorbent polymer were 1294 g/g, 177 g/g, and 119 g/g in distilled water, tap water, and 0.9 wt% NaCl solution, respectively. The superabsorbent polymer had good water retention and re-swelling properties at different temperatures, and fast water absorption rate, and reached swelling equilibrium at 5 min. The swelling mechanism of the superabsorbent polymer was explained by the pseudo-second-order swelling kinetics model and Ritger-Peppas model. The effect of the amount of hydrogel on the water evaporation rate in soil was studied, and it had a good effect.

P(DMAA-co-AM)hydrogel; adsorption method; a-amylase; Immobilized enzyme. Abstract. P(DMAA-co-AM)hydrogel was prepared by aqueous solution polymerization with N,N-dimethylacrylamide(DMAA) and acrylamide(AM) as monomers.,taking the P(DMAA-co-AM) hydrogel as carrier, a-amylase was immobilized by adsorption method.The investigation of effection of temperature and pH on enzymatic activity exhibites that the optimum temperatures are 50°C for both free and immobilized enzyme,the maximum activity is observed at pH 6.0 for both free and immobized enzyme. The activity of immobilized a-amylase remaines higher 40% at sixth run. Kinetic studies demonstrate that: Km values are 5.15749 and 1.44479 mg/mL for free and immobilized enzyme, Vmax values are 2.56082 and 0.58272 mg/mL min-1 for free and immobilized enzyme.
