Volume behaviors of sodium acrylate-acrylamide-N,N′-methylene-bisacrylamide copolymer gels in various solvent mixtures were examined. The gel samples having the same composition but different overall concentrations exhibited a discontinuous volume change at an appropriate solvent composition when immersed in methanol-water and tetrahydrofuran-water mixtures, but at some different solvent compositions when immersed in dioxane-water and acetonitrile-water mixtures because of significant flucutuation of the gel polymer-solvent mixture interaction.
