What is the proper solvent for super absorbent polymer (sap)?

I need to dissolve sap, what is the proper solvent?

Hi Gita, to better understand the SAP you are studying, it would be helpful if you could specify which type of cross-linked polymer you will be focusing on. It's important to note that due to their highly cross-linked structure, SAPs are typically insoluble in most common solvents.
