Sigma Aldrich sells it. See the link under Web Links to the left of this answer. They sell several different molecular weights. Just do a search for "sodium polyacrylate" in the product name search tab.
It is a fantastic absorber of water, so can be used for that and also has applications in coatings, absorbing polymers, thickening agents etc. It's also used in fake snow!
sodium polyacrylate is biodegradeble if given enough time
Sodium polyacrylate was invented, not discovered. In 1966, Robert Niles Bashaw, Bobby Leroy Atkins, and Billy Gene Harper invented sodium polyacrylate for the Dow Chemical Company.
Sorry. Sodium polyacrylate doesn't seem to work. Certainly not the way it does with water.
when you mix water and polyacrylate you turn a liquid into a solid in seconds
Sodium Polyacrylate is used in many different things. Examples would be such things as disposable diapers, laundry detergent, and fake snow, and when you go to the store and buy the amazing growing dinosaurs. Those are only some of the uses for Sodium Polyacrylate.
Baking Soda is sodium bicarbonate, and is not a polymer which sodium polyacrylate surely is.

The absorbent goo or slime contains sodium polyacrylate (disposable diaper gel powder), sodium chlorite, and coloring. The dissolver powder contains a de-polymerizing chemical, mostly ordinary salt, that lets the polyacrylate dissolve in water.
