  <abstract>Bentonite based superabsorbent polymer composite (SPC) was synthesized by solution polymerization of acrylic acid and acrylamide comonomer with bentonite using ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator and N, N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker. Amount of bentonite, initiator and crosslinker were varied to get the optimum value to produce maximum water absorbency. The water absorbency determination was done by using tea-bag method The SPC were characterized by using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA).The water absorbency under optimal synthesis of the SPC with Bentonite content of 10%, APS content of 0.9% and MBA content of 0.0%, it reaches more than 537 g H2O/g in distilled water respectively.</abstract>
