Aqueous, uncured but curable, polymer compositions which are stable at room temperature and possess excellent shelf life in uncured form are disclosed. The uncured polymer compositions can be made into fibers using conventional fiber forming processes and cured to produce absorbent fibers capable of absorbing at least 60 times their weight of brine.

An absorbent fiber which is the cured attenuated reaction product of: (a) a partially neutralized, aqueous, uncured polymer composition prepared by reacting a strong base with a polymer containing at least 25 mole percent recurring units of an ab0.2 to about 0.8 equivalent of total carboxyl groups of the ab0.1 to about 10 total parts by weight of at least one reactive compound per 100 parts by weight of the partially neutralized polymer, the reactive compound being a water soluble compound bearing one amine group and at least one hydroxyl group.
