Abstract: Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) were prepared from wheat straw cellulose (WSC), acrylic acid (AA), acrylamide (AM) and [2-(methylacryloyloxy)ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride (MAETAC) through graft copolymerization. Factors affecting water-absorbent capacity of SAPs, such as monomers ratio, WSC dosage, contents of initiator and crosslinking agent, and neutralization degree of AA were investigated and discussed in detail. Amphoteric SAPs, with absorbent capacity of 853 times their own weight in distilled water and 118 times in 0.9% saline solution under optimized synthesis condition, were obtained.

Key words: amphoteric superabsorbent polymer, wheat straw cellulose, water absorbency
