Sulfated chitosan(SCS) is a typical kind of amphoteric polyelectrolyte.In this paper SCS with high sulfate content was synthesized by homogeneous synthesis.Crosslinking of SCS with glutaraldehyde(GA) results in the formation of polyampholyte hydrogels.The morphology of the resulting hydrogel was characterized using environmental scanning electron microscopy(ESEM).The effects of the preparation conditions and the external conditions on the swelling degree of the SCS hydrogels were investigated.The parameters investigated included SCS concentration,the dosage of cross-linker,sulfate content of SCS,external medium,and pH value.The swelling ratio(SR) of the SCS hydrogel increased with the increase of SCS concentration,and decreased with the increase of GA dosage or the sulfate content of SCS.The swelling ratio of the resulting hydrogel in sodium chloride solution was much lower than that in water.
