Highly water‐absorbing polymers of neutralized poly(acrylic acid‐ co ‐acrylamide) were synthesized in an effort to investigate the influences of reaction parameters on water absorption. In addition, the extent of water absorption and the absorption rate were studied to determine their relationship with the reaction parameters. This article explains the synthesis technique, characterization of the water‐absorbing copolymers, and their properties. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 72: 1349–1366, 1999
