Patent ID: 7335713

Claim:
A process for making a flexible superabsorbent binder polymer composition comprising the steps of: a) preparing a preneutralized monomer solution where the acidic monomer is at least partially neutralized; b) adding a mixture of low molecular weight polyolefinic glycols having a molecular weight from about 200 to about 10,000, and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing a trialkoxysilane functional group to the preneutralized monomer solution; c) preparing at least 2 initiator system solutions; d) continuously adding the monomer solution of step b) during polymerization and the at least 2 initiator system solutions of step c) to water to form a mixture wherein the mixture reacts to form a polymer; e) optionally adding the at least 2 initiator system solutions of step c) at an accelerated flow rate; f) cooling the polymer; and g) post-neutralizing the cooled polymer of step f) to increase the neutralization of the polymer to at least about 60 mol %.
