Suspension polymerization particle agglomeration: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Uncontrolled polymer degradation and residual monomer levels lead to poor fluid retention and yellowing over time. These innovations stabilize the chemical network through precise thermal crosslinking to ensure long-term color stability and absorption performance.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Suspension polymerization particle agglomeration?

Inefficient fine particle recovery

(27)evidences

Inconsistent particle dimensions during superabsorbent polymer synthesis lead to poor fluid handling and gel blocking. Achieving precise size control ensures predictable absorption kinetics and mechanical stability.

Inaccurate superabsorbent performance characterization

(9)evidences

Unreliable measurement of superabsorbent behavior leads to inconsistent product quality. Precise characterization ensures predictable material performance in final applications.

Insufficient fluid absorption capacity

(3)evidences

Insufficient fluid transport and retention in thin absorbent structures leads to leakage and surface wetness. Improving distribution prevents localized saturation and enhances core efficiency.

Uncontrolled particle size distribution

(3)evidences

Inter-particle adhesion during the suspension phase leads to irregular sizing and poor flowability. Preventing this instability ensures uniform absorption properties and process reliability.
