## Abstract Porous, ionic, thermosensitive hydrogels were prepared from __N__βisopropylacrylamide, a cationic monomer [trimethyl (acrylamido propyl) ammonium iodide (TMAAI)], an anionic monomer [acrylic acid (AA)], a zwitterionic monomer [__N__β²__,N__β²βdimethyl (acrylamido propyl) ammonium propane
A novel polypeptide hydrogel has been synthesized by crosslinking poly(L-glutamic acid) (PLG) with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The PLG-PEG hydrogel was shown to be highly hydrophilic, and the extent of swelling varied with pH, increasing at higher ionization of the PLG. Aside from electrostatic eff
