摘要
The swelling kinetics of sodium polyacrylate gels has been studied in media with different pH values. The pH dependence of the degree of equilibrium swelling shows a maximum at pH 6. The degree of swelling decreases with an increase in the crosslink density, and this dependence follows an S-shaped pattern for all examined gels. When a gel swollen in media with pH 3-13 is dried in air, its contraction is reversible, while in the case of the gel swollen in acidic media at pH < 3, the process is irreversible owing to the replacement of sodium ions with protons.
