Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water-absorbing foamy crosslinked polymer. SOLUTION: The process for producing the polymer comprises a first step (I) of foaming a polymerizable aqueous mixture of (a) a monoethylene unsaturated monomer having an acid radical in which at least its 50 mol% is neutralized, (b) optionally other monoethylene unsaturated monomer, (c) a crosslinking agent, (d) an initiator, (e) 0.1-20 wt.% of at least one kind of surfactant, (f) optionally at least one kind of solubilizer, and (g) optionally, a thickener, foam stabilizer, polymerization regulator, filler and/or foam nucleus-forming agent, and of dispersing fine foams of inactive gas into the radical to carry out foaming, and a second step (II) of forming a foamy hydrogel and optionally adjusting a water content of the foamy polymer to 1-60 wt.% to polymerize the foamed mixture.
