To the reaction mixture urea (7 g) was added under stirring with a pH of 1.6. Cross-linkage (0.02 g), wako V50 and butandioldiacrylate (0.4 g) was added to the reaction mixture. Subsequently inorganic solid particulate (460 g), bentonite (60 g) and sand (200 g) was added under stirring and homogenized. The acrylic acid was neutralized by adding potassium hydroxide (75 g). Subsequently polymerizing the reaction mixture by adding potassiumdisulfite (0.15 g), sodium peroxide disulfate (0.9 g) and ascorbic acid (0.45 g) to initiate the reaction mixture. The stream of carbon dioxide gas was released during the exothermic polymerization reaction. The process increases the volume of the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was carried out at 105 deg C, where about 4% water was evaporated. The reaction was further worked up to give water-swellable hybrid material.</p>
