## Abstract Novel gel systems demonstrating rhythmically pulsatile mechanical motion similar to that of a heartbeat were developed. Selfβoscillations of swelling and deswelling for the polymer hydrogels were realized by coupling pH and temperature sensitive hydrogels with a nonβlinear chemical reac
## Abstract Kinetics of swelling and sorption behavior of copolymers (based on linseed oil, styrene, divinylbenzene, and acrylic acid via cationic and thermal polymerization) is studied in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at different temperatures. The values of __n__ in the transport equation are found to be
Electrolytes are often added to a gel-swelling medium under the assumption that the important conditions which characterize swelling rates are the solution pH and ionic strength, with little emphasis on the nature of the electrolyte. Previous research by Siege1 et al. has indicated that the presence
