A novel reversible thermo-swelling hydrogel

A novel reversible thermo-swelling gel was prepared from poly(vinyl alcohol)-trimellitate (PVA-T) by crosslinking with ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDGE). Only in the presence of sulfate anion, this polymer gel showed a significant and reversible swelling behavior with increasing the temperatu...
