Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) is a polymer with the formula (CH2-CHCO2H)n. In water solutions at neutral pH, PAA functions as an anionic polymer, where many side chains lose protons and acquire negative charges. This characteristic makes partially or wholly deprotonated PAAs effective polyelectrolytes with exceptional water absorption and retention capabilities, allowing them to swell to many times their original volume.
