Summary: We developed a novel method of producing polymer gels in aqueous solution using UV irradiation. Persulfates were effective photosensitive initiators of polymerization and/or gelation of acryloyl‐type monomers/polymers. The gelation was confirmed by an abrupt increase in light scattering intensity, 〈 I ( q )〉 T , at the gelation point. The gelation method entails significant advantages: it does not need any cross‐linkers, temperature control (heating), and additives except the persulfate.The UV irradiation time dependence of light scattering intensity, 〈 I ( q )〉 T , for pre‐gel solutions containing N ‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAm) and/or ammonium persulfate (APS).
