Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymers that swell to an equilibrium volume in the presence of water, preserving their shape. The dynamic swelling behavior of poly( N ‐isopropylacrylamide‐ co ‐ N,N ‐dimethylacrylamide) [poly(NIPA‐ co ‐DMA)] copolymers at 37°C was investigated. It was observed that the swelling degree in the copolymers decreases with the N ‐isopropylacrylamide content. In addition, the liberation mechanism was found to be Fickian. Diffusion coefficients according to Fick′s law as a function of the N ‐isopropylacrylamide concentration and results of the release process are reported. The kinetics of cephazoline sodium release from poly(NIPA‐ co ‐DMA) hydrogels with different compositions was studied. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 3433–3437, 2004
