A kinetic study of the release of the drug ( E )‐4‐(4‐metoxyphenyl)‐4‐oxo‐2‐butenoic acid (MEPBA) from a poly(acrylic acid‐ co ‐methacrylic acid) (PAA‐ co ‐MA) hydrogel was performed. The isothermal kinetic curves of MEPBA release from the PAA‐ co ‐MA hydrogel in bidistilled water at different temperatures ranging from 20 to 40°C were determined. The reaction rate constants of the investigated process were determined with the initial rate, the saturation rate, and Peppas's semiempirical equation. Also, a model‐fitting method for the determination of the kinetics model of drug release was applied. The influence of α at the values of the kinetic parameters and the presence of a compensation effect was established. A procedure for the determination of the distribution function of the activation energies was developed. This procedure was based on the experimentally determined relationship between the activation energy and α. The mechanism of active compound release is discussed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
