Silicone resin has no water-absorbing function because it is a strong hydrophobic polymer. However, addition of super absorbent polymer gives much better absorbency than that of conventional silicone resin. In this study, we developed novel silicone materials with water-absorbing function by choosing three types of amorphous acrylic super absorbent polymers with different particle sizes, determining the mixing ratio of the three polymers and applying the mixtures into two-component type silicone material for medical purpose. The change in the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, tear strength, compressive strength and hardness was investigated by varying the particle size and content ratio of the added super absorbent polymers while preparing the silicone resins. The absorbency of the silicone resins was measured over time. Additionally, the particle shape of the super absorbent polymers as well as the distribution within the silicone resin was observed using an optical microscope.

Polyacrylic super absorbent polymer(SAP) containing sorbitol was synthesized by inverse-suspension polymerization method. Sodium acrylate and acrylic acid were used as a monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate(EGDMA) and glycerol polyglycidyl ether(GPGE) were used as a crosslinking agent, potassium persulfate(PPS) was used as an initiator, and cyclohexane was used as a solvent. Content of sorbitol was from 10mol% to 50mol% according to the mol ratio of acrylic acid monomer. The size distribution of the round shaped polymeric particle was $177{\sim}707{\mu}m$. Absorption amount of the polymer containing sorbitol was 785 to 1086 times of the polymer weight in distilled water, was 50 to 83 times in 0.9 % NaCl solution. Absorption and retention amount of the polymer were decreased with increasing the amount of sorbitol, but the polymer has an endothermic property which is +5 cal/g SAP.

고흡수성 고분자는 이온성기를 가진 수용성 고분자에 부분적인 가교결합을 도입하여 일반적으로 카르복실기 이온 (-COO-)등과 같은 친수성기를 다량으로 지닌 3차원 망상구조를 지니는 수용성 고분자이다[1]. 여지껏 물을 흡수하는 목적으로 사용된 흡수소재는 면, pulp, sponge 등이 일반적으로 알려져 있다. 이들은 모세관 현상에 의해 물을 흡수하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 이들 흡수 재료의 흡수능력은 자기 무게의 수백 배로부터 천 배까지의 물도 흡수하며 외압하에서도 잘 탈수되지 않는 고기능성 고분자이며 그 원리는 다음과 같다.

흡수성 고분자는 주로 기저귀, 생리대, 농업용 뿌리 덮개 등에 사용되며, PAN(폴리아크릴 로니트릴) 그라프트 전분으로 대표되는 그라프트 공중합체와 가교된 아크릴레이트 고분자로 대표되는 수용성 단량체의 단중합체 또는 공중합체 등에 대한 연구가 가장 활발히 이루어져 왔다. 이들 고흡수성 재료들은 염용액에 대한 흡수도가 낮다는 단점이 있으며, 보다 강한 이온기를 도입하거나, 고흡수성 재료가 양쪽성을 나타낼 경우, 염에 대한 흡수도가 개선된다는 연구결과가 보고된바 있다. (중략)

This research was conducted to determine physical properties of four root media, peatmoss + vermiculite (1:1, v/v; PV), peatmoss + composted rice hall (1:1, PR), peatmoss + composted saw-dust (1:1 : PS) and peatmoss + composted pine bark (1:1 PB), as influenced by incorporation rate of Stock-sorb C (STSB). Each root medium containing STSB was packed in 22 cm diameter plastic pot and the physical properties were determined at 5 weeks after packing. As incorporation rate of STSB were elevated, total porosity increased in PV, PS and PB media with statistical differences at $5{\%}$ level. Those also resulted in increase of container capacity in PS and PB media, but statistical differences were not observed in PV and PR media. Elevated incorporation rate of STSB in PV, PS and PB media resulted in increase of air space with statistical differences. Trends in air space of the three root media showed a linear as well as quadratic responses to STSB contents of media. As incorporation rate of STSB increased, more water was retained in four root media at the soil moisture tension of 4.90 kPa, 9.81 kPa, 29.4 kPa and 1.5 MPa. The amount of water retained in PS medium was the highest at the moisture tension at 29.4 kPa and 1.5 MPa followed by PB, PR and PV medium. These results indicated that elevation of incorporation rate of STSB to various root media increased moisture retention capacity, but did not increase the available water holding capacity.
