Abstract
⺠Hemicelluloses isolated from wheat straw were employed to prepare pH-sensitive hydrogels. ⺠The swelling ratio of the hydrogel showed apparent transition at physiological pH. ⺠The swelling kinetics followed Fickian diffusion process in media of pH 1.5. ⺠The hemicelluloses content and crosslinking density affected the biodegradation. ⺠Drug release was controlled together by hydrogel and the intrinsic character of drug.
