Abstract	Poly (acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) [poly (AAm-co-AAc)]-based hydrogels were prepared by varying the cross-linking agent concentration (NMBA) in the range of 0.0077% to 0.077%. The effect of the NMBA content on swelling parameters, such as water absorbency, swelling ratio on the hydrogel was studied by keeping two monomers content, that is, AAm and AAc constant. The effect of KPS as an initiator in the range of 0.1% to 0.5% on the water absorbency of the hydrogels was also studied. The swelling value could be modulated in a great range by varying the cross-linking agent (NMBA) or initiator (KPS) concentration at fixed monomer concentration. The synthesized hydrogels were characterized by FTIR, SEM and network parameters, such as average molecular weight between cross-links (Mc), cross-link density (q) and mesh size (ξ). The experimental results showed that the equilibrium water absorbency decreases from 707.23 to 389 with increasing the NMBA content from 0.0096 % to 0.0385%. The network parameters, such as average molecular weight between cross-links (Mc) were decreased from 2.33 × 10$^{12}$ to 2.30 × 10$^{11}$ and cross-link density (q) decreased from 3.07 × 10$^{−11}$ to 3.09 × 10$^{−11}$; although mesh size (ξ) increased from 3.00 × 10$^{6}$ to 8.89 × 10$^{6}$ with increase in percentage of NMBA content from 0.009265% to 0.077%. The equilibrium water absorbency of various hydrogels were studied in distilled water and different types of saline solutions, which exhibited that hydrogels have higher equilibrium water absorbency in 0.009% saline (NaCl) solution than in 0.09% and 0.9% saline solutions. From the results it was clear that water absorbency increased from 302 to 573 g water/g sample with increasing the KPS content from 0.1 to 0.5%.
