Talk:Sodium polyacrylate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The text says Sodium polyacrylate, crosslinked (monomer: -CH2-CH(CO2Na)- ) is a crosslinked acrylic acid polymersodium salt (...), but should it be Sodium polyacrylate, crosslinked (monomer: -CH2-CH(CO2Na)- ) is a crosslinked sodium acrylate salt polymer (...) ? From the chemical formula, I suppose that it's a polymer of the salt sodium acrylate. Albmont 16:01, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

The link under "See Also" is invalid/broken.

Broken links are the Nemesis of any Web Site - I think half of the links become broken in about a year. Albmont 02:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I have another problem. It says that mixing sodium polyacrylate with alcohol will yield a magenta color. Not only does this require some sort of source but I have mixed sodium polyacrylate with 3 different alcohols, isopropyl, methyl and ethyl, without this effect. (MGoers37 11:51, 8 June 2007 (UTC))

I don't see it either (only tested with ethanol). Nor does Google suggest any refs. If no-one can reproduce this, or explain how, I'll remove it shortly. Joel.Gilmore 06:39, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
