Poly(a-hydroxy acrylic acid) (PHA) and poly(acrylicacid) (PAA) gels were prepared by irradiating the respective 15 wt% aqueous solutions with g-rays. Swelling ratios for PHA gel were measured as a function of pH and divalent cation (Mg 2 , Ca 2 , Mn 2 , Co 2 , Ni 2 , Cu 2 ) concentration C 2 in the

β¦ Synopsis
The swelling behaviour and elastic properties of gelatin gels are reported. Ampholytic swelling properties have been investigated. Antipolyelectrolyte performance is observed when gels are swollen in di β erent salt solutions. Swelling behaviour in high salt solutions is di β erent from that in low salt solutions ; this may be attributed to the formation of ion pairs. The elastic properties of the gel and their relationship with swelling character are also discussed.

## Abstract This article described a study on the gelβforming abilities of a number of different types of alginate fibers. The gelling abilities were assessed through the measurement on the release of calcium ions from the fibers and the absorption capacities in water and 0.9% saline solution. The
