Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effects of the degree of neutralization with acrylic acid, the quantity of initiator and acrylic acid to use, whether bamboo fiber should be added or not, and the alkalinity of the water for a super absorbent resin. The super absorbent resin was produced by grafting acrylic acid onto bamboo fibers using potassium peroxodisulfate as an initiator. Results showed the optimum grafting conditions as the following: 60.0% monomer neutralization, 300.00 gkg-1 alkalinity from a sodium hydroxide solution, 0.04 g of potassium peroxodisulfate, and 8.0 mL acrylic acid. With optimum conditions the water absorption was about 718.20 gg-1. [Ch, 1 fig. 4 tab. 12 ref.]
