Sumario:To solve the problem of the low absorbency of oil-absorbing resins, oil-absorbing resins (PAMs) were fabricated in this study by introducing commercially available benzyl methacrylate (BZMA) as a functional monomer copolymerized with stearyl methacrylate (SMA) and butyl acrylate (BA). The internal network structure of the PAMs expanded more easily when absorbing oils or organic solvents after introducing rigid groups of the benzene ring by an uncomplex polymerization process, which provided the oil-absorbing resin with good absorbency. The reagents were all commercially available, and there was no other pretreatment or posttreatment process. Then, the optimum parameters for the monomer feed ratio, water/oil mass ratio, and concentrations of initiator, stabilizer and crosslinker were studied. Simultaneously, the reusability, oil retention and thermal stability of PAMs were investigated in this article. The PAMs swelled in various oils and organic solvents (the values of oil absorbency were 44.52, 56.13, 25.54, 28.21, 32.85, 24.56, 14.17, 15.02 and 29.07 g g(−1) for CCl(4), CHCl(3), CH(2)Cl(2), benzene, toluene, xylene, n-hexane, 0# diesel oil and 93# gasoline, respectively) and displayed good oil absorbency, which met the absorption requirements for common oils or organic solvents.
