The invention concerns absorber elements consisting of at least one composite with absorbent elements on a carrier, the invention being characterized in that on at least one carrier a plurality of elements of a superabsorbent foam are arranged in a grid-like manner at spacings such that the peripheries of the elements touch in the swollen state.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the production of polymerisates from monomers insoluble in water and monomers optionally soluble in water by radical polymerisation of the monomers in water as the diluting agent, wherein the monomers insoluble in water are used in the form of complexes consisting of (a) cyclodextrins and/or compounds containing cyclodextrin structures, and (b) monomers which are insoluble in water or ethylenically unsaturated and soluble in water up to a maximum of 20 g/l at 20 DEG C, in the mol ratio (a):(b) of from 1:2 to 10:1, or the monomers are polymerised in the presence of up to 5 mol, in relation to 1 mol of the monomers (b), of cyclodextrins and/or compounds containing cyclodextrin structures. It also relates to the use of the polymerisates as sizing agents for the production of paper, as coating agents, as thickening agents for aqueous systems, as detergent additives and as thickening agents in cosmetic creams or lotions.

Abstract:
A process is disclosed for preparing aspartic acid polycondensates with improved biological degradability by thermal polycondensation of finely powdered aspartic acid in solid phase, at temperatures from 180 to 250 DEG C, until maximum 70 % by weight of the theoretically possible amount of water produced during polycondensation are removed from the reaction mixture. Also disclosed is the use of the thus produced polycondensates as additives for washing and cleaning agents and as scale inhibitors.
