Abstract :In this study, hydrogels of polyinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(acrylamide-co-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate); having different properties were prepared by a redox polymerization method. Polyinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ethylene glycol);, PEG 4000 was included in the polymerization recipe to increase the microporosity of the resultant polymeric structures. AAm/HEMA hydrogels with different properties were obtained by changing initial AAm/HEMA mole ratio, total monomer, PEG 4000 and crosslinker concentrations.Keywords : Acrylamide, 2 hydroxyethyl methacrylate, hydrogel, crosslinking, swelling, diffusion
