Full bio-degradation of super absorbent hydrogels (SAHs), which possess excellent water uptake capacity, is still challenging. Based on Flory theory, this paper first analyzes that the high swelling property and gel strength of SHAs are attributed to the length of effective chain of crosslinker. Firstly, a series of hyperbranched crosslinker (HBC) with different molecular weights were designed and synthesized by anionic polymerization and sodium lignosulfonate (SL), which owns a hydrophilic network and remarkable biodegradation properties, was selected as a monomer.
