METHOD FOR PRODUCING WATER-ABSORBING COMPOSITE

摘要

According to this invention, there are provided a process for manufacturing a water-absorbing composite comprising the steps of: (A) spraying an aqueous monomer solution containing acrylic acid and/or its salt on a heat-raised fibrous substrate to apply droplets of the aqueous monomer solution on the fiber constituting the fibrous substrate; (B) polymerizing the monomers in the droplets to form a water-absorbing composite in which the water-absorbing resin particles adhere to the fiber; a process for manufacturing a thermally-compressed water-absorbing composite further comprising step (C): further thermally compressing the above water-absorbing composite; and a process for manufacturing a laminated water-absorbing composite further comprising step (D): laminating the water-absorbing composite and a fibrous substrate to form a laminate and then thermally compressing the laminate to thermally fuse the water-absorbing composite and the fibrous substrate.
