Abstract
By means of the Flory-Huggins and Iwatsubo theory for macro-molecules, a four-component model of a hydrogel, which consists of a copolymer n etwork and a solution with two solvents, is given for discussing the ' 'normal pattern'' volume phase transition which was proposed by Kataya ma. Furthermore, the theoretical result shows that an ionic gel can al so undergo a volume phase transition caused by the variation of the ra tio of the two components in the copolymer network.
