Abstract
Hydrogels containing L-alanine ethyl esters as side chains show an intrinsic temperature-responsive water absorption characteristic, which has been suppressed in the homopolymer by association of the terminal hydrophobic alkyl groups in the side chain, by introduction of comonomer methacrylamide which serves as a spacer for disruption of the association of the side chains.Keywords
