[0001] The present invention relates to a biobased superabsorbent polymer and to a process for obtaining it. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention also relates to the compositions including it and its uses. Superabsorbent polymers are polymers that can absorb and retain very large quantities of liquids relative to their own mass without dissolving. Because of their absorbency and retention, superabsorbent polymers are ideally suited for organic fluid absorbent applications in personal care products such as diapers and incontinence pads. Superabsorbent polymers are generally obtained by polymerization of a monomer in the presence of a crosslinking agent. The three-dimensional network created makes it possible to absorb a liquid by an osmosis phenomenon by storing it in its empty spaces while avoiding its dissolution. The most used superabsorbent polymer is a crosslinked polyacrylic acid having partially neutralized hydroxyl functions. It is synthesized by radical polymerization of acrylic acid in the presence of a crosslinking agent (of the bisacrylamide type) and then partially neutralized with sodium hydroxide, dried and milled. When the ground material is then placed in the presence of water, it swells and forms a gel which can contain up to 100 times its weight in water. Despite its very good performance in terms of absorption, polyacrylic acid and all current superabsorbent polymers are completely petrochemical origin. There is therefore a need for fully biobased superabsorbent polymers. In order to meet them, the present invention proposes a totally biosourced superabsorbent polymer obtained by polymerization of an itaconate and a biosourced crosslinking agent. In particular, the invention relates to a crosslinked biosourced poly (itaconate) obtained by polymerization of an itaconate, preferably a sodium itaconate, and a biosourced crosslinking agent, said crosslinking agent having the following formula: CH 2 = C (-COOH) -CH 2 -C (= O) -O-ROC (= O) -CH 2 -C (-COOH) = CH 2 with: R = (CH 2) n, n = 2 to 6, or R = CH 2 The use of itaconic polymer for its absorption properties has already been described, but the known itaconic acid polymers are obtained with a crosslinking agent of petrochemical origin. The invention has the advantage of being entirely biobased. The invention also relates to a composition comprising a crosslinked poly (itaconate) according to the invention, a process for obtaining and uses as a superabsorbent polymer. Other features and advantages will become apparent from the detailed description of the invention which follows.

The radical polymerization of the mixture in water leads to the production of a crosslinked poly (itaconate) gel, which is then dried to obtain a crosslinked poly (itaconate) in dry form, preferably in the form of a powder. The drying can be carried out by washing with a solvent followed by a stoving step. Preferably the drying is carried out by washing with acetone and by drying at 50 ° C. for 24 hours.

[0007] EXAMPLES OF POLY (ITACONATES) RETICULATED ACCORDING TO THE INVENTION Raw materials used: - 99% itaconic acid (Alfa Aesar): C8H604 / M = 130.1 g / mol - sodium ltaconate: C8H404Na2 / M = 174.06 g / mol - Potassium persulfate 97% (Alfa Aesar): K 2 S 2 O 8 / M = 270.33 g / mol 20-Tert-butyl-hydro 70% solution in Water (Sigma Aldrich): (CH 3) 3COOH / M = 90.12 g / mol - Propane-1,3- diol: C 3 H 8 O 2 / M = 76.09 g / mol - 99% Hydroquinone (Alfa Aesar): C 6 H 60 2 / M = 110.11 g / mol - Sodium hydroxide (Sigma Aldrich): NaOH / M = 40 g / mol Synthesis of the crosslinking agent itaconic acid, propane-1,3-diol, catalyst and hydroquinone are introduced into a flask and evacuated under vacuum (10 mbar) with an oil bath at 140 ° C. The reaction time varied depending on the catalyst, for the catalyst H2504, SnOt2 and PTSA it took 2 hours of reaction, for the MSA 1 hour and 30 minutes and without catalyst 2 hours and 45 minutes. Hydroquinone serves to prevent the polymerization of itaconic acid on itself.
[0008] In each case, a translucent liquid is obtained which solidifies and turns white on cooling with a mass of about 45 g. The crosslinking agent is represented by the following formula: Homopolymerization of itaconic acid to obtain sodium itaconate In a flask, 26.5 g of itaconic acid (0.20 mol) are premixed with 35 g of demineralized water. 16 g of 50% NaOH (0.4 mol) are added very slowly and keeping cold, with stirring. The mixture is bubbled with nitrogen for 30 minutes while heating at 90 ° C, 2 g of K2S208 (7.40x10-3 mol) dissolved in 7.5 g of demineralized water are then added. The reaction is stirred magnetically at 90 ° C for 2 hours. Hydroquinone (1 ml) is then added to the mixture in order to stop the polymerization. The sodium itaconate obtained is referred to as PIA030314. Polymerization synthesis of itaconic acid with the biosourced crosslinking agent: Polymerizations of itaconic acid in the presence of a biosourced crosslinking agent were carried out with the following procedure: In the first step, sodium itaconate with 50% is prepared in a flask by mixing 50 g of itaconic acid (0.38 mol), 25 g of demineralized water and 15.4 g of sodium hydroxide pellets (0.38 mol) which are added very slowly and keeping the flask at 20 ° C. cold. Once sodium itaconate is obtained, the flask is put under nitrogen and heated to 60 ° C. Once the temperature at 60 ° C, the addition of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (0.5 mL or 5.2 mol) and the cross-linking agent biosourced (2 g is 6.6x10-3 mol) is carried out. Heat for 2h30 and allow to cool.
[0009] The gel obtained is then washed with acetone (3 times 20 ml) to extract the trapped water and is placed in an oven at 50 ° C. for 24 hours. The same protocol was carried out with 4 g, 6 g and 10 g of crosslinking agent.

The free fatty acids present in the fatty substance are dosed by a solution of potash. R - COOH + KOH -> R - COOK + H20 The procedure is described below.
[0011] Weigh accurately a mass of material (0.1 - 0.2 g) in a 250 ml beaker, dissolve the fat with 50 ml of the 95% (v / v) diethyl ether / ethanol mixture, add a few drops of colored indicator, titrate with the KOH solution (previously verified) until the indicator turns. A blank is made by dosing only the mixture of the two solvents (with the same volumes). Expression of the results: m: the mass of the fat test sample (g), CKOH: the concentration of the KOH solution (mol / L), - the equivalent volume of the blank (ml), - Test: the equivalent volume of the test portion (mL), - 56.1: the molar mass of KOH (g / mol). The acid number, expressed in mg of KOH per gram of fat, is then: = 56.1 X CKOH X (Vessel - Vblanc) m The theoretical acid number of the crosslinking agent has been determined in order to compare with the results obtained. The method of calculation of I'la is detailed below: The crosslinker has a theoretical molecular weight = 301 g / mol The crosslinking agent has two free acids.
[0012] Demonstration of calculation of the theoretical acid number: 2 x M (KOH) × 1000 IA = 301 IA = 372 The crosslinkers obtained have an acid number close to the theoretical index. The structure of the crosslinkers was analyzed by NMR. NMR spectra show the presence of free propanediol and propanediol reacted with itaconic acid. By comparing the integral of the peaks, it is possible to determine the condensation rate: C Condensation rate = - x 100 C + C 'Here are the results of each crosslinking agent: Reference Rate of condensation acid number (mgKOH / g SRH2so4150414 99% 363 SRsnot2160414 70% 415 SRmsA170414 98% 358 SR 280414 67% 424 IA = M (molecule) 2 x 56.1 x 1000 3029525 The condensation rate is found to be well identified with the acid number, since each acid number which is close to the theoretical acid number (372) has a very good rate of condensation. EVALUATION OF THE ABORBENT EFFICIENCY OF THE POLY (ITACONATES) ACCORDING TO THE INVENTION The WAC is the water absorption capacity of a material and is expressed in gram H 2 O per gram sample. To perform these WAC tests, it is necessary to introduce a known mass (m1) of dry polymer in 500 times m1 volume of water and leave for 24 hours the product to absorb the water. Then, the gel obtained is filtered and weighed (m2).
