- superabsorbents are typically slightly cross-linked hydrophilic polymers.
- the polymers may differ in their chemical nature but they share the property of being capable of absorbing and retaining even under moderate pressure amounts of aqueous fluids equivalent to many times their own weight.
- superabsorbents can typically absorb up to 100 times their own weight or even more of distilled water.
- Superabsorbents have been suggested for use in many different industrial applications where advantage can be taken of their water absorbing and/or retaining properties and examples include agriculture, the building industry, the production of alkaline batteries and filters.
- the primary field of application for superabsorbents is in the production of hygienic and/or sanitary products such as disposable sanitary napkins and disposable diapers either for children or for incontinent adults.
- superabsorbents are used, generally in combination with cellulose fibres, to absorb body fluids such as menses or urine.
- body fluids such as menses or urine.
- the absorbent capacity of superabsorbents for body fluids is dramatically lower than for deionised water. It is generally believed that this effect results from the electrolyte content of body fluids and the effect is often referred to as "salt poisoning" .
- the water absorption and water retention characteristics of superabsorbents are due to the presence in the polymer structure of ionisable functional groups. These groups are usually carboxyl groups, a high proportion of which are in the salt form when the polymer is dry but which undergo dissociation and solvation upon contact with water. In the dissociated state, the polymer chain will have a series of functional groups attached to it which groups have the same electric charge and thus repel one another. This leads to expansion of the polymer structure which, in turn, permits further absorption of water molecules although this expansion is subject to the constraints provided by the cross-links in the polymer structure which must be sufficient to prevent dissolution of the polymer.
- Japanese Patent Application OPI No. 57-45,057 discloses an absorbent which comprises a mixture of a superabsorbent such as a cross-linked polyacrylate with an ion exchange resin in powder or granular form.
- EP-A-0210756 relates to an absorbent structure comprising a superabsorbent and an anion exchanger, optionally together with a cation exchanger, wherein both ion exchangers are in fibrous form.
- Combining a superabsorbent with an ion exchanger attempts to alleviate the salt poisoning effect by using the ion exchanger to reduce the salt content of the liquid.
- the ion exchanger has no direct effect on the performance of the superabsorbent and it may not be possible to reduce the salt content sufficiently to have the desired effect on the overall absorption capacity of the combination.
- the ion exchanger has no absorbing effect itself and thus acts as a diluent to the superabsorben .
- EP-A-0487975 relates to a cross-linked ampholytic copolymer said to be highly absorbent to aqueous electrolyte solutions and formed from an ampholytic ion pair monomer, a co-monomer and a cross-linking agent. It is assumed that when the ampholytic ion pair monomer is incorporated into the polymer backbone the ion pairs act as ionic cross-links which remain intact in deionised water but are broken in salt solution. Accordingly the copolymer is sensitive to the ionic strength of the solution in the sense that the effective degree of cross-linking is reduced as the ionic strength increases.
- EP-A-0161762 relates to a water swellable, water insoluble polymer produced by inverse suspension polymerisation of a diallylic ammonium salt monomer, an acrylic monomer and a cross-linking agent.
- the product is an acrylic acid polymer containing both cationic and anionic groups in the chain which is intended for use as a superabsorbent in salt form. It is claimed that the material can absorb the same quantity of water irrespective of the salt content of the water but absorption is at a low level and the material does not show any significant improvement in its water absorption in the presence of salt as compared to conventional superabsorbents.
- EP-A-01S1763 relates to a similar superabsorbent made by polymerising a diallyl ammonium compound and a cross-linking agent by suspension polymerisation.
- WO 92/20735 relates to a superabsorbent which is said to be substantially tolerant to salt solutions and which comprises a swellable hydrophobic polymer and an ionizable surfactant.
- the specification also discloses (but does not claim ) an alternative embodiment which uses a cationic superabsorbent which exchanges Cl " with OH" and an anionic superabsorbent which exchanges Na* with H*. No working examples of such a system are given and the superabsorbent gels disclosed are generally acrylamide derivatives.
- Acrylamide derivatives include the amide bond which is subject to hydrolysis at low alkaline pH (about pH 8) with release of toxic hydrolysis products. Hydrolysis problems will be exacerbated if the polymer is prepared and used in base form. An alkaline pH of about 8 may well arise in baby urine if fermentation of urea to ammonia takes place so that tissue hydrolysis products would be liable to be formed from acrylamide derivatives in contact with urine at this pH.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a superabsorbent with improved performance in the presence of electrolyte, for example in the case of menses or urine.
- the present invention provides a superabsorbent material which comprises a combination of
- a cationic superabsorbent in which from 20 to 1 00% of the functional groups are in basic form, the cationic superabsorbent being based on a polysaccharide or a polymer of units of a monomer of formula (I) :
- R and R 2 which may be the same or different, are each organic radicals which do not adversely affect the properties of the polymer and X is a suitable anion.
- the anionic superabsorbent preferably has 50 to 100% and more preferably has substantially 100% of the functional groups in free acid form.
- the cationic superabsorbent preferably has 50 to 100% and more preferably has substantially 100% of the functional groups in basic form.
- both anionic and cationic superabsorbents have to have functional groups in salt form before they act as superabsorbents .
- Commercially available superabsorbents are usually available in salt form. It has now surprisingly been found according to the present invention that a combination of an anionic superabsorbent in free acid form with a cationic superabsorbent as defined above in basic form is particularly effective as a superabsorbent in the case of electrolyte containing solutions, for example menses and urine.
- the anionic and the cationic superabsorbent are both converted from a non-absorbing form into the salt forms in which they act as superabsorbents;
- anionic superabsorbent does not behave as an ion exchanger in the sense that contacting the material alone in acid form with an electrolyte containing solution does not result in conversion to the salt form.
- the functional groups in anionic superabsorbents are typically carboxyl groups which act as a weak acid which does not dissociate when placed, for example, in a sodium chloride solution.
- presence of the cationic superabsorbent has the effect of attaching chloride ions from sodium chloride solution, thereby displacing the equilibrium in favour of conversion of the anionic superabsorbent into the salt form.
- the anionic superabsorbent can be any material having superabsorbent properties in which the functional groups are anionic, namely sulphonic groups, sulphate groups, phosphate groups or carboxyl groups.
- the functional groups are carboxyl groups.
- the functional groups are attached to a slightly cross-linked acrylic base polymer.
- the base polymer may be a polyacrylamide, polyvinyl alcohol, ethylene maleic anhydride copolymer, polyvinylether, polyvinyl sulphonic acid, polyacrylic acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyvinylmorpholine. Copolymers of these monomers can also be used.
- Starch and cellulose based polymers can also be used including hydroxypropyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose and acrylic grafted starches.
- Particular base polymers include cross-linked polyacrylates, hydrolysed acryloni rile grafted starch, starch polyacrylates, and isobutylene maleic anhydride copolymers.
- Particularly preferred base polymers are starch polyacrylates and cross-linked polyacrylates.
- the functional groups will generally be carboxyl grou DS .
- anionic superabsorbents are available commercially, for example Dow 2090 (Dow) , Favor 922 (Stockhausen) , Sanwet IM 1500 (Sanyo) , Aqualon AON D3236 (Aqualon Company) .
- Commercially available anionic superabsorbents are generally sold in salt form and need to be converted to the free acid form for use according to the invention, for example, Favor 922 may be swelled in water, acidified with HCl (0.01m), washed with water to remove excess HCl and dried in an air ventilated oven to obtain Favor 922 in acid form (FAVOR H) as follows:
- the anionic superabsorbent may be directly synthesized in acid form by the radical polymerization of the acrylic acid monomer with a crosslinking agent, namely in the same manner as commercially available superabsorbents are synthesized.
- the cationic superabsorbent can also be a material formed from a polysaccharide based polymer as described above for the anionic superabsorbent but with cationic functional groups.
- the cationic superabsorbent may be based on a polymer of units of a monomer of formula (I) :
- R 1 and R 2 wwhhiicchh mmaayy bbee the same or different, are each organic radicals which do not adversely affect the properties of the polymer and X is a suitable anion.
- R 1 and R 2 are each independently an optionally substituted saturated hydrocarbon group or aryl group.

- the aryl group also includes arylalkyl groups.
- the groups R 1 and R 2 have from l to 20 carbon atoms, more preferably from 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
- the saturated hydrocarbon groups or the aryl groups may be substituted by one or more suitable substituents selected from carboxyl, ester, hydroxyl, ether, sulphate, sulphonate, primary, secondary or tertiary amines or quaternary ammonium groups.
- R group is a hydrocarbon radical having from l to 20, preferably from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, more preferably the R group is methyl.
- suitable substituents include saturated hydrocarbon groups as defined above.
- the preferred groups for R 1 and R 2 are methyl groups.
- X may be any suitable anion which may be inorganic or organic.
- suitable inorganic anions include halide (in particular fluoride, chloride, bromide and iodide) , nitrate, phosphate, nitrite, carbonate, bicarbonate, borate, sulphate and hydroxide.
- Suitable organic anions include carboxylate such as acetate, citrate, salicilate and propionate.
- the anion is a chloride or hydroxide ion.
- Preferred monomers are diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride and dimethyl diallyl ammonium hydroxide.
- cationic superabsorbents used according to the present inventions are resistant to hydrolysis at low alkaline pH and thus are not subject to the problems with release of toxic hydrolysis products referred to above in the context of the acrylamide derivatives suggested by WO 92/20735.
- suitable cationic functional groups include primary, secondary or tertiary amine groups or quaternary ammonium groups which should be present in base form. Preferably quaternary ammonium groups are used.
- Preferred base polymers include pblysaccharides and polymers based on dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride.

- a cationic polysaccharide for example a fibrous polysaccharide, having superabsorbent characteristics, the polysaccharide being substituted by quaternary ammonium groups and having a ds of at least 0.5 and the polysaccharide being cross-linked to a sufficient extent that it remains insoluble in water.
- superabsorbents of this type are described in more detail in our co-pending patent application No (internal reference DR44) .
- the cationic superabsorbent may be a water-swellable, water-insoluble polymer comprising units derived from a diallylic quaternary ammonium salt monomer, cross-linked by a suitable polyfunctional vinyl compound, characterised in that the polymer has been produced by cationic polymerisation in an aqueous phase using a free radical catalyst.
- a suitable polyfunctional vinyl compound characterised in that the polymer has been produced by cationic polymerisation in an aqueous phase using a free radical catalyst.
- the functional groups on anionic superabsorbent are such that the superabsorbent is a weak acid and those on the cationic superabsorbent are such that the superabsorbent is a strong base.
- the ratio of anionic to cationic superabsorbent is in the range 3:1 to 1:5 based on monomer units, more preferably 2:1 to 1:2, each monomer unit having one functional group therein.
- the anionic and cationic superabsorbents are used such that they have equal exchange power so that pH extremes in the bodily fluids absorbed are not reached and the optimum desalting effect is achieved.
