Abstract
⺠Novel superabsorbent hydrogel obtained from cellulose by the crosslinking reaction. ⺠1,2,3,4-Butanetetracarboxylic dianhydride as a crosslinker was used for the reaction. ⺠Absorbency of the hydrogel depended on the amount of BTCA esterified to cellulose. ⺠Absorbency of the hydrogel increased with the molecular weight of the starting cellulose. ⺠The hydrogel was easily degraded by cellulase.
