Abstract
The ratio of the shear modulus over the longitudinal osmotic modulus h as been determined by different experimental methods. Osmotic deswelli ng, swelling kinetics as well as deswelling induced by unidirectional compression were performed. For the experiments chemically cross-linke d poly(vinyl acetate) gels swollen in toluene and acetone (good solven ts) and iso-propyl alcohol(poor solvent) have been used. The results a re in agreement with the theoretical predictions.
