Polyacrylate superabsorbent (PAS) was synthesized by aqueous solution polymerization crosslinked by N , N ‐methylene bisacrylamide. The effect of pH and concentration of several solutions on absorbency ( Q ) of PAS was studied. The results showed that the absorbency increased at first and then decreased with the increase of the solution's pH; the summit of the absorbing curve was attained when pH was about 6.25. The relation between absorbency and pH could be represented by a quadratic equation and the square difference was relatively small. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 88: 494–499, 2003
