Abstract
Hydrogels containing L-alanine ethyl esters as side chains show an int rinsic temperature-responsive water absorption characteristic, which h as been suppressed in the homopolymer by association of the terminal h ydrophobic alkyl groups in the side chain, by introduction of comonome r methacrylamide which serves as a spacer for disruption of the associ ation of the side chains.
