Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to cross-linked synthetic polymers based on acrylic acid and its derivatives with a high absorbency and improved absorbency rate for water, aqueous solutions and bodily fluids, a process for their production by radical polymerisation in conditions leading to polymers having a porous structure and a particle density depending on the degree of swelling so that the polymer particles can float in water or aqueous fluids and the use of these polymers for the absorption and/or retention of water and the transfer of water and/or an active agent solution to a surrounding medium. The porous structure of the polymer is formed by nitrogen dispersed in it. At least one azo compound with a half exchange time of at least 10 hours at a temperature of 30 to 120 .degree.C is added to the aqueous monomer solution as a polymerisation initiator and foaming agent. |
