Abstract

In this study, we performed the equilibrium free swelling and subsequent uniaxial tensile tests of polyacrylamide hydrogels to investigate the interactions between swelling and elasticity. The experimental data were reproduced by adjusting two scaling exponents of the extended Frory-Rehner model. We discussed the tendency of a set of the obtained material parameters.
