Several sulfonic acid copolymer gels were prepared by radical copolymerization of N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) using N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS) as the cross-linker. The concentration of pregel solutions and BIS content in dried gels were held constant at 0.75 mol/L and 1.3 mol%, respectively, while the mole fraction f of AMPS in dried gels determined by elemental analysis varied from 0 to 0.608. Swelling ratios for our sample of f= 0.468 were compared with those for an acrylic acid copolymer gel of f= 0.494 and 25°C in aqueous buffers from pH= 2 to pH= 10 at 0.01 M ionic strength, and the results indicated that even in the gel state the sulfonic acid group could dissociate completely in the whole pH range
