Here, we studied the mechanical properties of polyacrylic acid-co-polyacrylamide (pAAc/pAAm) and polyacrylate-co-polyacrylamide (pNaAc/pAAm)-based hydrogels as a function of composition and total polymer content. While both polyacrylate and polyacrylic acid are weakly-charged polyelectrolytes with c
