<span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">In this work, synthesis and swelling behavior of a superabsorbent hydrogel based on alginate and polyacrylamide (PAAm) was investigated. the structure of the product was established using FTIR and SEM spectroscopies.The alginate-polyacrylamide hydrogel exhibited a pH-responsive swelling-deswelling behavior at pH’s 3 and 9. This on-off switching behavior provides the hydrogel with the potential to control delivery of bioactive agents.</span></span>
