Enhanced elasticity in poly(acrylic acid) gels via synthesis in the presence of high concentrations of select salts

Abstract

Poly(acrylic acid) gels synthesized via free-radical polymerization of acrylic acid and high molarities of salt show properties quite different from such gels synthesized without salt. Enhanced properties include increased extensibility and modulus.
