Abstract

Agglomerated superabsorbent polymer particles is provided and obtained by a method comprising the steps of: a) providing precursor superabsorbent polymer particles having a first mass average particlesize 1mAvPS, and b) mixing the precursor superabsorbent polymer particles with a solution comprising i) homogeneously dispersed therein, clay platelets with opposing basal platelet surfaces and platelet edges; ii) one or more surface modification compound(s) and/or edge modification compound(s); and, iii) polymerizable monomers and/or oligomers, or iv) crosslinkable polymers, c) polymerizing themixed solution if the solution comprises polymerizable monomers and/or oligomers or crosslinking the mixed solution if the solution comprises crosslinkable polymers. The agglomerated superabsorbent polymer particles have a second mass average particle size 2mAvPS which is at least 25% greater than the first mass average particle size 1mAvPS.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to agglomerated superabsorbent polymer particles formed by using clay platelets with edge and / or surface modifications, and to absorbent articles comprising agglomerated superabsorbent polymer particles obtained via the process herein. Background technique [0002] The use of superabsorbent polymer particles, especially in absorbent articles, is well known in the art. Superabsorbent polymer particles are generally prepared by grinding or otherwise shredding relatively large pieces of superabsorbent polymer. However, the size of the particles obtained by such grinding or chopping cannot be fully controlled. Consequently, the obtained superabsorbent polymer particles usually have a specific particle size distribution such that there are particles of relatively large size (e.g. 1000 μm or even larger) and other particles are rather small, such as less than 100 μm or even significantly smaller, with the majority of particle s...
