Abstract
Some hydrogels of different chemical composition were synthesized usin g 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, and acr ylamide in different ratios and crosslinked by ethylene dimethacrylate . Effects of the copolymer composition as well as the type of monomers on some hydrogel characteristics were evaluated. Some characteristic properties, namely soluble fraction percentage, swelling degree, solut ion uptake, and salt uptake were found to be markedly affected by the hydrogel composition.
