## Abstract A novel technique to synthesize a macroporous poly(__N__‐isopropylacrylamide) hydrogel with ultrarapid swelling–deswelling properties by using dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium bromide (DDBAB) during the polymerization/crosslinking reaction at −8°C was proposed. A hydrophobic initiator d

We have been interested in the synthesis of hydrogels with fast swelling kinetics and superabsorbent properties. To increase the water absorption rate, interconnected pores were introduced to the hydrogels. Since the pore size in the dried hydrogels is in the order of hundreds of micrometers, these
## Abstract Copolymeric hydrogels of poly(ethylene glycol) monomethacrylate (PEGMA) (P) have been synthesized for use in drug‐delivery. New copolymeric hydrogels were prepared by free radical solution polymerization of PEGMA and monomethyl itaconate (MMI) or monoethyl itaconate (MEI), using ethylen
