Zusammenfassung:PCT No. PCT/US93/02144 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 22, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 22, 1995 PCT Filed Feb. 26, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/19377 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 1, 1994A process for making clusters of individual polymer beads bonded together to minimize attritition in use or processing but characterized by an open structure for fast absorption of aqueous solutions comprises suspending a monomer mixture in a continuous phase at high shear agitation such that fine droplets of monomer are formed in an inert organic phase. A suspending agent which prevents the clusters from coalescing is provided. A first polyethylenically unsaturated crosslinking monomer, having substantial solubility in the aqueous phase, and an organic phase soluble initiator system are provided such that polymerization at the surface of the polymer particles occurs to form the porous clusters of the invention, A second substantially oil soluble crosslinker is optionally provided to further crosslink the clusters such that they do not coalesce.
