Аннотация:Two series of polyampholyte gels formed from sodium methacrylate and diallyldimethylammonium chloride with variable composition were synthesized in water and in aqueous salt solution. It is shown that the swelling properties of polyampholyte gels Lire directly related to their chemical structure, which is defined by the process of gel synthesis. The swelling ratio of the polyampholyte gels prepared in salt solution is large compared with the gels prepared in pure water, i.e. the polyampholyte gels with balanced stoichiometry show minimal swelling. The interaction of the polyampholyte gels with ionic surfactants (cationic, cetylpyridinium chloride and anionic, sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate) was studied. It aas shown that for polyampholyte gels with an excess of the charges of one sign the addition of oppositely charged surfactant leads to the collapse of the gel. It was found that the efficiency of surfactants absorption is determined by the ratio of positive and negative charges in the chains of polyampholyte gels. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
