Abstract
The swelling kinetics of cross-linked polyacrylamide was studied depending on the composition of the external solution. It was shown that the polymer gel swelling during the transition from water to a potassium or sodium chloride solution and vice versa sharply decreases, then gradually increases. The swelling of gel in a solution of sodium chloride is higher than that of potassium chloride. In the equilibrium swollen gel, the concentration of salts in the gel phase is higher than in the external solution and increases with the transition from potassium chloride to sodium chloride.
