swelling studies were performed in distilled water and different pH values at room temperature to investigate swelling behavior of pillared clay based superabsorbent films. It was also obtained that Zr-K10 based superabsorbent was pH dependent and showed a reversible swelling behavior. The swelling behavior of Zr-K10-SA was increasing by decreasing amount of Zr-K10 in the hydrogel. SEM, FTIR and XRD analysis were conducted for further characterization of the Zr-PILC-SA. FTIR analyses lead to
