Abstract

Swelling is one of the distinct properties and a significant parameter in the characterization of the crosslinked hydrogels. Swelling investigation at different temperatures was conducted for the produced hydrogel of chitosan grafted acrylamide/acrylic acid. Peleg's model is a two parameters model, which can be used to describe the absorption of water or swelling. The data show that the swelling degree increases with temperature until it reaches 60°C, after which it decreases as the temperature rises higher. At RT, 30, 40, 60, and 80 °C, the swelling degree values of 1.4, 1.5,1.4, 2.3 and 0.7 g water/g dry hydrogel were observed after 8 hours. The applied models provided a good agreement with the experimental data with high values of the coefficient of determination (𝑅2). The observed F values and the standard error indicate the validity of the proposed model to describe the swelling of hydrogel at different temperatures. The swelling rate and swelling degree can be expressed using a 4th degree polynomial. It was concluded that the exponential association equation model represents swelling characteristics better than the others.
