Keywordswater concentration, polymerization, hydrogel, swellingCollegeIra A. Fulton College of Engineering and TechnologyDepartmentChemical EngineeringAbstractHydrogels are polymers that absorb water and thus swell in the presence of water and/or body fluids. Hydrogels have been used in many drug-delivery and medical applications.1 One such application is to apply a thin coating of a hydrogel to the outer surface of a hearing aid to eliminate acoustic feedback.
