This is a list of [[television programs]] currently and formerly broadcasted by [[Boomerang (TV channel)|Boomerang]] in the [[USA]].
Some shows that were formerly broadcasted on the network sometimes resurface. Also short versions of many shows both from the past and present on Boomerang are sometimes shown during the end of a program.

Water absorbing polymers, classified as [[hydrogels]], absorb aqueous solutions through hydrogen bonding with the water molecule. So an SAP's ability to absorb water is a factor of the ionic concentration of an aqueous solution. In deionized and distilled water, SAP may absorb 500 times its weight (from 30-60 times its own volume), but when put into a 0.9% saline solution, the absorbency drops to maybe 50 times its weight. The presence of valent cations in the solution will impede the polymers ability to bond with the water molecule.

==A==
Superabsorbent polymers are now commonly made from the polymerization of acrylic acid blended with sodium hydroxide in the presence of an intiator to form a poly-acrylic acid, sodium salt(sometimes referred to as cross-linked sodium polyacrylate). This polymer is the most common type of SAP made in the world today. Other materials are also used to make a superabsorbent polymer, such as [[polyacrylamide]] copolymer, ethylene maleic anhydride copolymer, cross-linked carboxy-methyl-cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol copolymers, cross-linked polyethylene oxide, and starch grafted copolymer of polyacrylonitrile to name a few. The latter is one of the oldest SAP forms created.

==B==
Today superabsorbent polymers are made using one of two primary methods; [[suspension polymerization]] or [[solution polymerization]]. Both processes have their advantages over the other and both yield a consist quality of product.

==C==
Solution based polymerization is the most common process used today for SAP manufacture. This process is efficient and generally has a lower capital cost base. The solution process uses a water based monomer solution to produce a mass of reactant polymerized gel. The polymerization's own reaction energy (exothermic) is used to drive much of the process, helping reduce manufacturing cost. The reactant polymer gel is then chopped, dried and ground to its final granule size. Any treatments to enhance performance characteristics of the SAP is usually accomplished after the final granule size is created.

==D==
The suspension process is practiced by only a few companies because it offers a higher degree of production control and product engineering during polymerization step. This process suspends the water based reactant in a hydrocarbon based solvent. The net result is that the suspension polymerization creates the primary polymer particle in the reactor rather than mechanically in post-reactions stages. Performance enhancements can also be during or just after the reaction stage.

==F==
The total absorbency and [[swelling capacity]] are controlled by the type and degree of cross-linking to the polymer. Low density cross-linked SAP generally has a higher absorbent capacity and swell to a larger degree. These types of SAPs also have a softer and more cohesive gel formation. High cross-link density polymers exhibit lower absorbent capacity and swell. The gel strength is firmer and can maintain particle shape even under modest pressure.

==G==
The largest use of SAP is found in personal disposable hygiene products, such as baby diapers, adult protective underwear and feminine napkins. SAP was discontinued from use in tampons due to 1980s concern over a link to [[toxic shock syndrome]].<ref>[http://thegreenguide.com/reports/product.mhtml?id=45 Product Report - Diapers<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> They are also used for blocking water penetration in underground power or communications cable, horticultural water retention agents, control of spill and waste aqueous fluid, artificial snow for motion picture and stage production. The first commercial use was in 1978 for use in feminine napkins in [[Japan]], disposable bed liners for nursing home patients in the USA.

==I==
Until the 1980’s, water absorbing materials were cellulosic or fiber-based products. Choices were tissue paper, cotton, sponge, and fluff pulp. The water retention capacity of these types of materials is only 20 times their weight – at most.
* ''[[Inch High, Private Eye]]'' (Only shown on weekends)


==J==
In the early 1960s, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) was conducting work on materials to improve water conservation in soils. They developed a resin based on the grafting of acrylonitrile polymer onto the backbone of starch molecules (i.e. starch-grafting). The hydrolyzed product of the hydrolysis of this starch-acrylonitrile co-polymer gave water absorption greater than 400 times its weight. Also, the gel did not release liquid water the way that fiber-based absorbents do.

The polymer came to be known as “Super Slurper”. The USDA gave the technical know how to several USA companies for further development of the basic technology. A wide range of grating combinations were attempted including work with acrylic acid, acrylamide and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).

Offers the absorbency of a granular polymer supplied in solution form. Solutions and can be diluted with water prior to application. Can coat most substrates or used to saturated. After drying at a specific temperature for a specific time, the result is a coated substrate with superabsorbent functionality. For example, this chemistry can be applied directly onto wires & cables, though it is especially optimized for use on components such as rolled goods or sheeted substrates.

Besides granular super absorbent polymers, ARCO Chemical developed a super absorbent fiber technology in the early 1990s. This technology was eventually sold to Camelot Absorbents(Now bankrupt). Another fiber-spinning SAP technology was developed by Courtalds & Allied Colloids in the UK in th early 1990s. These acrylic-based products, while significantly more expensive than the granular polymers, offer technical advantages in certain niche markets including cable wrap, medical devices and food packaging.
