Abstract

A pH-responsive poly(acrylamide-co-itaconic acid) (PAAm/IA) hydrogel and semi-interpenetrating networks (semi-IPNs) with 5, 10 and 15 wt.-% of poly(ethylene glycol) (PAAm/IA/PEG), were synthesized. Their swelling behavior was studied in the pH range from 1.76 to 7.81, as well as their oscillatory swelling behavior at pH = 7.81 and pH = 1.7. Throughout these studies, the gels maintained their mechanical strengths and shape. The shear storage
