The main four approaches to improve the anti-electrolytic property of superabsorbent polymer were reviewed in this paper
including incorporation of nonionic monomer or longchain hydrophobic monomer
inproving the hydrophilic property of polymer
and synthesis and application of polyampholyte.Copolymerization of nonionic monomer
for example acrylamide
with AA is a usual way
but the effect is very limited.Improving the hydrophilic property of polymer is an effective way for the synthesis of oil in water emulsion thickener
the methods of improving the hydrophilic property of relevant monomers were also discussed.Incorporation of longchain hydrophobic monomer is a new and more effective way to improve the anti-electrolytic property of superabsorbent polymer;Considering different modes of polymerization
this method was reviewed in great details. The synthesis and application of polyampholyte
which exhibits antipolyelectrolyte behavior in solution
were also reviewed;but the cost of this approach is relatively higher.
