    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a preparation method of a super absorbent polymer having excellent basic absorbency and liquid permeability at the same time by optimizing the degree of cross-linking of a base resin powder and a surface cross-linked layer, and a super absorbent polymer prepared therefrom. The preparation method of a super absorbent polymer includes the steps of: forming a hydrogel polymer by cross-linking and polymerizing a monomer composition including a water-soluble ethylene-based unsaturated monomer having at least partially neutralized acidic groups and an internal cross-linking agent; drying, pulverizing and classifying the hydrogel polymer to form a base resin powder; and forming a surface cross-linked layer by further cross-linking a surface of the base resin powder in the presence of a surface cross-linking agent, wherein the water-soluble ethylene-based unsaturated monomer has a degree of neutralization of less than 70 mol % in the step of forming a hydrogel polymer, and the preparation method further includes a step of further neutralizing the base resin powder by treating the base resin powder with a basic solution during the step of forming a surface cross-linked layer or after the step of forming a surface cross-linked layer.

    Abstract: Provided are compositions comprising a block copolymer of the following formula: [A]-B-[Q], wherein [A] is a polymer that has an affinity for a substrate; B is a linking group comprising an optionally-substituted, polyvalent linking group having a molecular weight of no more than 1000 g/mole; and [Q] comprises a semi-crosslinked, ungelled polymer derived from copolymerization of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer with a poly-functional ethylenically unsaturated monomer. Such block copolymers are cross-linked via the [Q] segment, but not macroscopically gelled. The [Q] segment is hydrophilic and has a degree of polymerization in the range of about 10 to about 10,000. The [A] segment is located on at least one terminal end of said block copolymer, comprises between about 1 and about 200 repeating units. The block copolymer is associated, via the linear substrate associative segment with a surface comprising at least one hydrophobic site, such as a silicone hydrogel. The polymers may be incorporated into a formulation from which the silicone hydrogel is made or may be contacted with the silicone hydrogel post-formation.
