Abstract: A novel multifunctional superabsorbent composites of poly (acrylic acid-co-acrylamide)/sodium humate/ montmorillonite (PAA-AM/SH /MMT) were synthesized by copolymerization reaction of acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AM) on sodium humate (SH) and montmorillonite (MMT) micropowder in aqueous solution. Water absorbency in distilled water and swelling kinetics for the superabsorbent composites with different weight ratio of SH to MMT were carried out. In addition, the effects of various pH solutions and swelling-reswelling-swelling times on water absorbency were also systematically investigated. The results show that the water absorbency and swelling rate of the superabsorbent composite are improved by introducing simultaneously SH and MMT into the composite in comparison with that of incorporated with SH or MMT.
