Abstract: AMPS-TEA polymerizable ionic liquid was synthesized by neutralization of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) with triethylamine (TEA) in acetone followed by evaporation of the solvent; DSC, FT-IR and 1H-NMR were used to characterize the ionic liquid; by using N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (NMBA) as a crosslinker, and ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator, poly(AMPS-TEA-co-AAm) gels were synthesized by aqueous copolymerization of AMPS-TEA and acrylamide (AAm), the super absorbency for water and a variety of organic solvents of the gels was investigated as well. The results show that when the glass transition temperature of AMPSTEA is59.4 ℃,  poly(AMPS-TEA-co-AAm) gels show super absorbency for both water (218 g/g) and a variety of organic solvents such as DMSO (68 g/g), methanol, ethanol, and so on. It is suggested that the reason for super absorbency for organic liquids is dissociation of the ion pair of the ionic liquid irrespective of the liquid environment.

Key words: ionic liquid; 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid; triethylamine; acrylamide; super absorbency
