Summary: The polyelectrolyte and antipolyelectrolyte effects on the degree of swelling (Q) and dehydration activation energy (E a ) of homo‐ and copolymer single and double networks, consisting of monomer units with polyelectrolyte and antipolyelectrolyte association abilities are determined and compared. An original correlation between Q and E a is outlined and explained.
