As compared with the state of the art, the polymers according to the present invention have an improved combination of the properties retention, liquid absorption under pressure at 63 g/cm2 and soluble contents, moreover, they have an Increased permeability of the gel layer for watery liquids, a high suction rate, and a high swelling pressure. The polymers are used as absorbents for water and watery liquids in constructions for the absorption of body fluids, In electricity or light-conducting cables, and in plant raising.
