- the European publication involves a process for the production of X- linked addition polymer microparticles made from the dispersion polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers in an aliphatic hydrocarbon liquid in the presence of a specific stabilizer. The process requires that at least one of the monomers contains hydroxymethylamino or alkoxymethylamino and at least one other monomer contains hydroxyl or carboxyl.

- a water swellable tape is disposed between the core and the jacket of the cable to absorb water that may become present between the buffer tubes and elements overlaying the core of the cable.
- the patent describes the strength member as being formed from aramide or glass, and most suitably formed of KEVLAR®, a trademark for a type of aramide sold by DuPont Corporation of Wilmington, Delaware. Also, the patent describes that the water blocking yarn and water swellable tape are made from polyester.
- the present invention provides a method for making a composite of a substrate having an application of superabsorbent polymer that is adhered to the substrate.
- the method comprises first preparing an aqueous solution of a polymer which is capable, upon being subjected to radiation from a radiation source for a sufficient time, of becoming a superabsorbent polymer.
- the radiation source provides UV rays and/or heat.
- the aqueous solution is applied to a substrate.
- the resultant of the substrate with the applied aqueous solution is subjected to the radiation source, for instance heated for a sufficient time at a sufficient temperature, to convert the polymer to a superabsorbent polymer.
- the superabsorbent polymer is water insoluble.
- the polymer has functional groups that cross-link upon being subjected to the radiation source, such as UV rays and/or heat, in orderto form the superabsorbent polymer.
- the polymer has a network cross-linking agent that is an alkylol methacrylamide, which is believed to allow for heating at relatively low temperatures of about 140°C or less for the conversion to a superabsorbent polymer.
- the curing oven that is used for converting the polymer to a superabsorbent polymer via heat, can have a higher throughput.
- the superabsorbent polymer component of the composite often exhibits a desirably high CRC, and typically, the CRC with Dl water will be approximately 45 g/g.
- One more advantage is sea water stability of the superabsorbent polymer, as further illustrated in Example C below.
- the SAP may be manufactured by any of the prior art polymerization processes for making the SAPs.
- the pre-SAP is water soluble, a solvent polymerization process is employed to make the SAP, and the SAPs made this way are called solvent polymerization SAPs.
- any of the prior art emulsion or suspension polymerization processes may be employed to make the SAP with the following condition. Since by definition an emulsion polymer is a water-and- polymer suspension in a hydrophobic medium, then the pre-SAP would be water insoluble. Hence, a surfactant would have to be present in orderto make the pre-SAP be in a water soluble form, i.e., in order to emulsify the aqueous monomer solution in the oil phase prior to polymerization. Suitable surfactants for use in the present invention are well known to those of skill in the art of emulsion polymerization. The SAPs made this way are called emulsion polymerization SAPs.
- aqueous solution of the polymer i.e., of the pre- SAP
- aqueous solution is meant to include a true aqueous solution, as well as to include an aqueous suspension that has present in it a surfactant in order to cause the polymer (i.e., the pre-SAP) to be in a water soluble form.
- the SAP may be obtained by polymerizing at least about 10%, more preferably about 25%, even more preferably about 55 to about 99.9%, by weight of monomers having olefinically-unsaturated carboxylic and/or sulfonic acid groups.
- acid groups include, but are not limited to, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid, and mixtures thereof.
- the acid groups are present partially as salts, such as sodium, potassium, or ammonium salts.
- the acid groups are typically neutralized to at least about 25 mol %, more preferably at least about 50 mol %.
- the preferred SAP has been formed from X-linked acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, which has been neutralized to an extent of about 50 to about 80 mol %, more preferably about 60 to about 70 mol %.
- Suitable neutralizing agents are hydroxides and/or carbonates of alkaline earth metals and/or alkali metals, for instance, NaOH. Neutralization of acid groups may be performed prior to the polymerization to form the pre-SAP, may be performed on the pre-SAP, or a combination thereof.
- Additional useful monomers for making the SAPs include from above 0 up to about 60% by weight of acrylamide, methacrylamide, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, esters (such as hydroxyethyl acrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, hydroxypropyl methacrylate, glycidyl methacrylate, and dimethyl-aminoalkyl-methacrylate), dimethyl-aminopropyl acrylamide, and acrylamidopropyl trimethyl-ammonium chloride. Percentages below about 60% of these monomers are desirable as percentages above 60% typically will have a detrimental effect and deteriorate the swell capacity of the resultant SAP.
- a preferred amount is from about 1 % to about 55%, more preferably, from about 1 % to about 25% by weight, and even more preferably from about 2% to about 10% by weight.
- a suitable hydroxypropyl acrylate for use in the present invention is sold under the trade name Mhoromer AM 438 by Creanova, Inc. Such monomers may be present whether or not a network X-linking agent as described in the next paragraph, is present.
- Suitable network X-linking agents that may be used in making the SAPs are those which have 1 ethylenically unsaturated double bond and 1 functional group reactive toward acid groups, and those which have several functional groups reactive toward acid groups. Very minor amounts of network X-linking agents which have at least 2 ethylenically unsaturated double bonds may also be used to enhance performance.
- Suitable kinds of network X-linking agents include, but are not limited to, acrylate and methacrylate of polyols (such as butanediol diacrylate, polyglycol diacrylate, hexanediol dimethacrylate, tetrahydrofurfuryl-2-methacrylate, glycerol dimethacrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, allyloxy polyethylene glycol methacrylate, and ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate), allyl acrylate, diallyl acrylamide, triallyl amine, diallyl ether, N-methylol acrylamide, methylenebisacrylamide, glycerol dimethacrylate, N-N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, N-dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide, and N-methylol methacrylamide.
- polyols such as butanediol di
- a radiation source may be operatively associated with the method to provide radiation to the pre-SAP which converts it into a SAP.
- the radiation may be selected from the group consisting of infrared rays, visible rays, ultraviolet rays, x-rays, gamma rays, beta particles, high energy electrons, heat (i.e., from an oven), or combinations thereof. Appropriate sources of radiation are commercially available.
- the SAP is formed by heating the pre-SAP.
- heating may be conducted in the presence of an alkylol methacrylamide as a network X-linking agent, which causes functional groups, such as hydroxyl and/or carboxyl present in the pre-SAP to X-link and form the SAP.
- a typical temperature range for the network X-linking to convert the pre- SAP into a SAP ranges from about 100 to about 140°C, more preferably from about 110 to about 135°C and most preferably from about 120 to about 130°C.
- Network X-linking agents need not be used.
- the heating to convert the pre-SAP into the SAP should be from about 140°C to about 200°C or even higher, preferably about 160°C, and more preferably about 180°C.
- the time for heating typically is from about 30 seconds to about 60 minutes. A time of about 1 to about 50 minutes is very typical. The specific time and temperature are not critical, as long as they are sufficient to X-link the pre-SAP and convert it into a SAP.
- the pre-SAP prior to subjecting the pre-SAP to radiation, the pre-SAP is applied, such as by painting, rolling, printing (i.e., dot printing), spraying, brushing, swabbing, or dip coating, onto a substrate to form an application of the pre-SAP on the substrate, followed by the radiation conversion step into a SAP. After the radiation conversion step, the resultant is a composite of the substrate coated with the SAP.
- Suitable substrates for the inventive composite include various yarns, tapes, wovens, non-wovens, films, fluff pulps, protective sheaths, and fibers or filaments.
- Aramide yarns, glass fiber, polyester, polypropylene, polyamide, polyethylene, or cellulose, among others, are particularly suitable materials for the substrate.
- the SAP may have a water soluble polymeric component.
- the content may range from above 0 up to about 30% by weight of a component that includes, but is not limited to, partially or completely saponified polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, starch, starch derivatives, polyglycols, polyacrylic acids, and combinations thereof.
- the molecular weight of the component is not critical, provided that it is water soluble.
- Preferred water soluble polymeric components are starch, polyvinyl alcohol, and mixtures thereof.
- the content of the water soluble polymeric component in the SAP ranges from about 1 to about 5% by weight, especially if starch and/or polyvinyl alcohol are present as the water soluble polymeric component.
- the water soluble polymeric component may be present as a graft polymer having the acid-groups- containing polymer.
- the SAP will be in the form of a coating on a substrate, such as a yarn, as illustrated further below in the Laboratory Examples, instead of the SAP being the dried resultant obtained by solvent or solution polymerization, or by emulsion or suspension polymerization.
- Various end use absorbent products that may contain a composite of the inventive SAP applied on a substrate include, but are not limited to, agricultural products (i.e., a polymer with herbicide and/or insecticide), fiber optic cables, power cables, water blocking tapes, insulation, feminine care products (i.e., sanitary napkins and/or tampons), incontinence items for adults, diapers for babies, papertowels, sealing composites between concrete blocks, bandages, surgical sponges, meat trays, bath mats, and the like.

- a 600 ml sample of the aqueous solution of water soluble pre-SAP was placed as a bath in a beaker. Then, the CAA was determined in the following manner for a 1420 denier polymeric strand of aramide filament yarn that had been coated with pre-SAP and heated to convert the coating into a SAP coating. Other kinds of radiation, as described above, may be employed for converting the pre-SAP into a SAP.
- a strand of yarn was collected on a polyvinyl chloride spool that already had been weighed.
- the spool with the yarn was re-weighed in order to determine the dry weight of the yarn, which was about 2.5 g.
- the coated wet yarn was then placed on a hanger, which was then placed for 10 minutes inside of a pre-heated oven at 120°C. (Alternative times and temperatures may be used, as discussed above, to facilitate optimum conversion of pre-SAP into SAP.)
- the hanger with the yarn having a now dried coating which had been converted by the heat of the oven into a SAP due to the thermal X-linking, was removed from the hanger.
- the SAP coated yarn was weighed and the % dry add on was calculated by subtracting the weight of the yarn from the weight of the yarn coated with the SAP, and dividing by the weight of the yarn coated with the SAP.
- the CAA is defined to be the mass of water absorbed (in grams) per gram of SAP, which has been applied to a substrate, in this case the aramide filament yarn.
- a 2.0 gram composite (substrate and applied SAP) specimen was placed in 100 grams of Dl water. After 10 minutes, this mixture was poured onto a paper filter, allowing the free non-absorbed water to drain into a vacuum-aspirated filter flask. This filtrate was then transferred to a 100 ml graduated cylinder to measure the quantity of filtrate.
- the CAA was then calculated using the following formula:
- CAA [(100 - B)NV]/[A.W] where:
- W weight of composite specimen of yarn with coating of SAP A % dry add on of SAP onto substrate
- CRC Test The test was conducted at ambient conditions of room temperature. Retention of Dl water was determined according to the tea bag test method and reported as an average value of 2 measurements. Approximately 200 mg of SAP particles, that had been sieved to a particle size distribution ranging from about 300 to 600 micrometers, were enclosed in a tea bag and immersed in the Dl water for 30 minutes. Next, the tea bag was centrifuged at 1600 rpm for 3 minutes and weighed. The diameter of the centrifuge apparatus was about 20 cm. Also, 2 tea bags without particles were used as blanks. Then, the CRC property (measured in grams of liquid absorbed per gram of particles) was calculated according to the following equation.
- W., initial weight in grams of SAP particles
- W 2 average weight in grams of two blanks after centrifugation
- W 3 weight in grams of test tea bag after centrifugation
- each SAP was a X-linked sodium polyacrylate made by solvent polymerization. Also, each percentage recited was a weight % unless specifically indicated otherwise as a mol %.
- Example A (one embodiment of the present invention)
- a 600 ml sample of the aqueous solution of water soluble pre-SAP was placed as a bath in a beaker. Then, the CAA described above was employed in the following manner for a 1420 denier polymeric strand of aramide yarn that had been coated with pre-SAP and heated to convert the coating into a SAP coating. Specifically, a strand of yarn was collected on a polyvinyl chloride spool that already had been weighed. The spool with the yarn was re-weighed in order to determine the dry weight of the yarn, which was about 2.5 g.
- the coated wet yam was then placed on a hanger, which was then placed for 10 minutes inside of a pre-heated oven at 120°C.
- the hanger with the yarn having a now dried coating which had been converted by the heat of the oven into a SAP due to the thermal X-linking of the hydroxypropyl acrylate and the N-methylol methacrylamide, was removed from the hanger.
- the SAP coated yarn was weighed and the % dried add on was calculated by subtracting the weight of the yarn from the weight of the yam coated with the SAP, and dividing by the weight of the yarn coated with the
- CAA [(100 - B)/W]/[A «W]
- CAA determined by this method was found to be 29.6 g/g.
- a 5 gram sample of the aqueous solution of pre-SAP was weighed into an aluminum pan, followed by placing the pan with the sample in an oven at 120°C for 2 hours.
- the CRC was then tested as described above with Dl water, and found to be 45 g/g.
- Example B (another embodiment of the present invention)
- Example A The procedure of Example A was repeated with the following changes to make SAP.
- the heating to convert the pre-SAP into a SAP was conducted for 20 minutes at 180°C, instead of 10 minutes at 120°C.
- the resultant SAP (dried from the heating at 130°C) comprised 65.8% by weight of sodium acrylate, 14.2% by weight of acrylic acid, 5% by weight of hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 5% by weight of hydroxy propyl methacrylate, 5% by weight of hydroxyethyl acrylate, and 5% by weight of hydroxy propyl acrylate, prepared as a 36% solution in water.
- the CAA was 23.1 g/g and the CRC was 23.3 g/g.
- Example A The procedure of Example A was repeated with the following changes to make SAP.
- the aqueous solution contained various other dissolved electrolytes, in addition to NaCI, in order to simulate sea water.
- each of the resultant SAPs was milled and sieved to particle size of less than 850 micrometers to greater than 150 micrometers instead of 300 to 600 micrometers.
- Each of these products was then evaluated with the simulated sea water solution, having the following components:
- Example E (comparison)
- 0 397410 A2 may be repeated, including heating the polymer for 8 minutes at
- the CRC of SAP particles may then be tested as described above with aqueous 0.9 weight % saline, and should be 20 g/g.
