摘要：

The equilibrium swelling volume of covalently crosslinked sodium alginate (a highly ionized stiff polymer network) gels has been studied as a function of electrolyte concentration, pH, and concentration of salts in ethanol-water mixtures. It is shown by numerical analysis of the Flory theory for swelling of gels that the ionic contribution to swelling seems to be the main determining factor for the swelling of these gels. Volume changes in aqueous solutions may be explained mainly by the ionic contribution to swelling. Reduced swelling and marked hysteresis are observed when the gels are exposed to low pH or cations that induce gelling in soluble Na-alginate. In contrast to predictions found in the literature, no discrete volume changes have been observed as a result of altering solvent composition. This discrepancy is attributed to the effect of the Donnan equilibrium and the high stiffness of the alginate chains. The gel volume changes in ethanol-water mixtures resemble the solubility of uncrosslinked alginates.
