INTRODUCTION
In the rapidly changing scientific world, contributions of
scientists are leading to major new solutions of significant medical
problems. No longer is the treatment of diseases based only on
conventional pharmaceutical formulations. Chemistry, biology and
medicine are beginning to reduce the problems of diseases to
problems of molecular science, and are creating new opportunities
for treating and curing diseases. Such advances are coupled closely
with advances in biomaterials and are leading to a variety of
approaches for relieving suffering and prolonging life.

1.1. Hydrogels:
Hydrogels are considered as one of the most promising
materials due to their unique properties and wide scale of
applications. They are polymer-based three dimension crosslinked
network systems which can absorb amounts of water and biological
fluids in their structure without dissolution. The network structure
can be formed by chemical initiation or ionizing radiation methods
for one or more components by copolymerization, interpolymer
complexes and semi-interpenetrating polymerization (7). Their
ability to absorb water is due to the presence of hydrophilic groups
such as -OH, -CONH, -CONH2, -COOH, and -SO3H along the
polymer chain. They can absorb other biological fluids, and
retaining a large amount of fluids in the swollen state.

2.1. Superabsorbent Hydrogels:
Superabsorbent hydrogels are a kind of hydrogels, which
have the ability to absorb and retain water or physiological
solutions, hundreds of times their own weight, due to the
hydrophilic nature of their polymer chain and their interconnected
structure (11). In recent years many researchers have sought to find
or design new superabsorbent hydrogels for various applications.

swelling kinetics was studied. The results not only show the
dependence of the swelling indices on the pH value of the swelling
medium but also show a clear dependence of the diffusion
coefficient on the ionic strength of the medium. To estimate the
ability of the prepared copolymer to be used as a colon-specific drug
carrier, the release of ketoprofen was studied as a function of time at
pH 1 and pH 7 (91).

RESULTS & DISCUSSION
The release kinetics often deviates from the expected one and
is strongly influenced by a variety of parameters. These parameters
include device geometry, the physicochemical properties of the
polymer matrix (molecular weight, swelling, crystallinity, and glass
transition temperature), initial drug concentration profile, drug–
matrix interactions, and osmotic pressure associated with drug
solubility and its loading content (127, 128). The release of drug is
closely related to the swelling characteristics of the hydrogels,
which in turn, is a, key function of chemical architecture of the
hydrogels.

SUMMARY
SUMMARY
SUMMARY
Hydrogels have played a very important role in biomedical
applications. With increasing efforts devoted to controlled drug
release, the applications of hydrogels will continue to grow in the
future. In this study, Experiments were done to prepare different
chitosan hydrogels as potential drug carriers for small intestinal or
colon specific drug delivery system. The conditions of preparation
and the influence of different factors on the properties of the
prepared hydrogels have been investigated.
1- The effect of CS/AAc concentrations on the degree of
crosslinking was investigated. It was found that the increase
in the feed concentration from 20% to 50% result in small
reduction in gel fraction. The increasing of the feed
concentration more than 50% was accomplished by a
significant increase in gel content.
2- The effect of the applied irradiation dose on the
crosslinking process of CS/AAc was studied in terms of gel
fraction. It was found that the greater the radiation dose, the
higher the degree of gelation of the CS/AAc hydrogel
polymer complex.
3- The thermal stability of CS and PAAc and their
copolymer were investigated using thermo gravimetric
analysis (TGA); an increase in thermal stability of CS/AAc
hydrogels was observed.
