Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a resin composite excellent in water absorptivity, by impregnating pulp with an aqueous solution based on acrylic acid and polymerizing the monomer by heating with stirring under application of a shearing stress to disperse the pump fibers finely and intimately in the polymer. CONSTITUTION:An aqueous solution based on a partial alkali metal salt of acrylic acid containing, optionally, a small amount of a water-soluble comonomer, a crosslinking monomer and a water-soluble polymer and being able to form a highly water-soluble polymer by radical polymerization is prepared. Pulp is impregnated with this aqueous solution. The obtained mixture is placed in, for example, a kneader and polymerized by heating with agitation under application of a shearing stress to disperse the pulp fibers finely and intimately in the polymer, while generated water vapor is smoothly discharged out of the system. In this way, the purpose highly water-absorptive resin composition is obtained. This resin composition can be suitably used as a water- absorptive material for paper napkins and sanitary napkins.

In radical polymerization of an acrylic partially alkali metal salt aqueous solution, if the concentration is 40% or more, self-crosslinking occurs and a crosslinked polymer is produced. The polymerization reaction occurs vigorously, and as the polymerization progresses, the viscosity of the aqueous solution increases and gelation occurs due to crosslinking. While the polymerization reaction is accelerated by the rise in temperature caused by the heat of the reaction, the generated water vapor is prevented from dissipating out of the system due to increased viscosity and gel formation, making it difficult to remove the heat and, as a result, the reaction slows down. It goes out of control starting from the port.

In the method of the present invention, a mixture obtained by impregnating pulp with an aqueous stock solution containing acrylic acid as a main component and producing a superabsorbent polymer through a radical polymerization reaction is sheared so that the pulp fibers are tightly dispersed with the polymer.

The polymerization reaction can be carried out while the mixture is standing still, but by carrying out the mixing under shear stress, a product in which the pulp fibers are more closely and uniformly dispersed in the superabsorbent polymer can be obtained. As the polymerization reaction progresses, the aqueous stock solution first increases in viscosity and is further converted into a hydrated gel-like product. At this time, the pulp fibers are finely and uniformly mixed and dispersed in the hydration glue.

The relationship between the dispersion state of pulp fibers in particles and water absorption performance was investigated by changing the ratio of the aqueous stock solution to the pulp and the mixing conditions of the reaction mixture during polymerization. The mixing conditions include a mixture in which pulp is uniformly impregnated with an aqueous stock solution, a product obtained by pulverizing and mixing the pulp in a mixer and then standing polymerization, and a product obtained by polymerizing while mixing under shear stress. The following remarkable facts were discovered by comparing the products obtained. By carrying out the polymerization reaction by mixing under shear stress, (1) a uniform product can be obtained even if a large amount of aqueous stock solution, about 10 times the amount of pulp, is impregnated. (2) The fine and intimate dispersion of pulp fibers and polymers greatly improves water absorption capacity and water absorption rate.

The polymerization reaction is generally carried out in a kneader mixer. The viscosity of the mixture increases as the polymerization reaction progresses, and when it reaches the stage where it is converted into an aqueous gel due to the formation of crosslinks, a large stress is required for mixing. Dispersion of pulp fibers occurs effectively when the viscosity of the system increases to an appropriate degree and shear stress is applied. Therefore, when conducting a polymerization reaction continuously, the reactor should be designed so that effective mixing occurs in the early stages of gel formation and that excessive stress is not applied at the stage when gel is formed and the viscosity of the system increases significantly. is preferred.
