Aqueous dispersions of cross-linked, tertiary ester groups containing emulsion polymerisates and water-absorbent materials on a carrier material made thereof

Aqueous dispersions of cross-linked, tertiary ester groups containing emulsion polymerisates, (a) at least 50 wt.% of an ester, derived of a tertiary alcohol and a ethylenic unsaturated C3- to C5- carboxylic acid, (b) 0,001 to 5,0 wt.% of at least one compound, comprising at least two ethylenic unsaturated double compounds, and (c) 0 to 49,999 wt.% of at least one other monoethylenic unsaturated compound copolymerized and having an average particle size of 1000 nm at most, and water absorbent materials, obtainable by layering of a carrier material with said aqueous dispersion of a cross-linked, tertiary ester groups containing emulsion polymerisate, drying and heating of the thus treated carrier material to a temperature of at least 1400C while producing carboxyl groups from the tertiary ester groups of the emulsion polymerisate and at least partial neutralization of the carboxyl groups and the use of the water-absorbing materials as absorption means for water and aqueous liquids.
