The swelling kinetics of the hydrogels with various particle sizes was preliminary investigated as well. The swelling of the hydrogel showed a second order kinetics of swelling in water. In addition, swelling measurements of the synthesized hydrogels in various chloride salt solutions was measured. Results indicated that a swelling-loss with an increase in the ionic strength of the salt solutions. }, journal = {International Journal of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering}, volume = {5}, number = {3}, year = {2011}, pages = {217 - 219}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/7697}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/51}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 51, 2011}, }
