A method is presented that makes possible the labelling of powders that can be applied as building material in a layer-additive manufacturing method such as a selective laser sintering method. To this effect the powder is mixed with at least one salt of a metal of the rare earths, wherein the salt has the property that...

Disclosed are an absorbent polymer and a method of preparing the same. The absorbent polymer may be mixed with a cross-linking additive in order to allow the polymerized hydrogel to have a uniform cross-linkage structure, and thereby enhancing flow conductivity while having excellent absorption ability.
1. A method of preparing an absorbent polymer, comprising: polymerizing a polymer composition which includes acrylic monomer and a cross-linking agent; adding a water-soluble compound containing at least two hydroxyl groups in an amount of 0.5 to 5 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of un-neutralized acryl...
