Résumé

Le gonflement et dégonflement rapide et accentué des copolymers de l'acide méthacrylique et du divinyl benzène dans des solutions aqueuses alcalines et acides ont été étudiés.

Les phénomènes ressemblent aux contractions et dilatations des systèmes biologiques.

L'interprétation donnée est basée sur l'effet du redressement des chaînes moléculaires sous l'influence de la répulsion électrostatique des groupes carboxyliques ionisés, qui se contractent lors de la neutralisation des charges.
