Superabsorbent polymer hydrogels can swell to absorb huge volumes of water or aqueous
solutions. This property has led to many practical applications of these new materials, in …

We present a review of theoretical and experimental results on the swelling behavior and
collapse transition in polymer gels obtained by our group at Moscow State University. The …

Ampholytic hydrogels were synthesized by copolymerizing acrylamide with specialty
monomers. Two monomers,[(methacrylamido) propyl] trimethylammonium chloride …

The interaction of charged surfactants with oppositely charged polyelectrolyte networks has
been investigated. The effective absorption of the surfactant ions by charged gel is …

The role of the hydrophobic effect in polyelectrolyte gel/ionic surfactant interactions was
investigated. A series of hydrophobically modified poly (acrylic acid) gels with well …

A very simple theory of swelling and collapse of weakly charged polyelectrolyte networks in
the solution of an oppositely charged surfactant has been developed. The following …

The interaction of slightly cross-linked positively charged gels of poly (
diallyldimethylammonium chloride)(PDADMAC1) with sodium salts of chloride, bromide …

A review is presented of theoretical and experimental studies on self-organization processes
in ion-containing polymers (polyelectrolytes and ionomers). The high probability of various …
