Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a thermoplastic polymer blend composition comprising a superabsorbent polymer and method of preparation thereof.
  • Superabsorbent polymers are well-known materials that are used in a variety of applications ranging from personal care articles such as diapers to water barrier applications in the construction industry to water blocking agents in communications cables to liquid absorbers in food packaging systems. These polymers are known to absorb several times their weight of, for example, moisture, water, saline solution, urine, blood, and serous body fluids.
  • Mixtures of superabsorbent polymers and binders are characterized by a number of disadvantages and/or limitations, such as manufacturing and operating temperature limitations, lack of adhesion to the substrates to which the mixture is applied, and delaminating when the article is pulled in the tensile direction, that contribute to abrasion when the article is being fabricated. Further, tapes add additional components in the construction of cables causing considerable unwanted increases in their costs and diameters. Cables using filler gels are characterized by a number of disadvantages and or limitations such as manufacturing and operating temperature limitations, formation of voids which lead to paths of water migration, and difficulties meeting industry standards.
  • films and laminates of superabsorbent polymers have been made from solutions of superabsorbent polymers followed by heating and/or removing the solvent.
