A complex mechanism characterizes the water uptake kinetics in hydrogels, as a consequence of the strong structural changes occurring in the material during the sorption process. The water sorption involves the transformation of a glassy, moderately crosslinked polymer in a rubbery material. In this
## Abstract The preparation of alginate hydrogel membranes by the film immersion method was optimized for maximum crosslinking using swelling measurements as an indicator of the degree of crosslinking. The variables investigated were the concentration of the nonsolvent (ethanol) for sodium alginate
