Swelling Behavior of Polyacrylamide–Cellulose Nanocrystal Hydrogels: Swelling Kinetics, Temperature, and pH Effects [PDF]
This paper reports swelling behavior of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC)-based polyacrylamide hydrogels prepared by a radical polymerization. The CNC acts as a nanofiller through the formation of complexation and intermolecular interaction.

The Effect of Swelling Ratio on the Coulter Underestimation of Hydrogel Microsphere Diameters. [PDF]
It has been demonstrated that the diameters of porous particles are underestimated by Coulter measurements. This phenomenon has also been observed in hydrogel particles, but not characterized. Since the Coulter principle uses the displacement of electrolyte to determine particle size, electrolyte contained within the swelled hydrogel microparticles ...

Investigation of Swelling Ratio and Textures Analysis of Acrylamide-Nanocellulose Corncobs Hydrogel
AbstractCorncobs have a high level of cellulose hence making it suitable to be used as the main ingredient in making hydrogels. Hydrogel are crosslinked polymers capable of absorbing water hundreds to thousands of times their dry weight, but are insoluble in water due to the three-dimensional structure of the polymer network.
