Abstract: Provided herein are absorbent polymers produced from beta-propiolactone, and methods of producing such polymers. These absorbent polymer may be cross-linked. The beta-propiolactone may be derived from ethylene oxide and carbon monoxide. The absorbent polymer may be bio-based and/or bio-degradable. The absorbent polymers may be used for diapers, adult incontinence products, and feminine hygiene products, as well as for agricultural applications.
