When the polyacrylamide formerly used in diapers was found to be contaminated with the monomer, those diapers were discontinued, and polyacrylate was used instead.  At least I think that is true, though I cannot give you a link describing that history.  Several web sites where the poo powder is sold and/or described state that the agent is like that in diapers.  All disposable diapers on the market today contain polyacrylate. mcneely
