A series of copolymeric gels were prepared from N-alkoxyalkylacrylamide and n-butyl acrylate (BA) at various feed ratios. The effect of the content of BA in the copolymer on the gel behaviors is discussed. The respective crosslinked copolymer exhibits a gel transition behavior, collapsing and shrink
