Abstract: | Controlled osmotic swelling and de-swelling measurements have been performed on gelatin, a polyampholyte, hydrogels suspended in water-ethanol marginal solvent at room temperature (20 degrees C) where the alcohol concentration was changed from 0 to 100% (v/v). The change in gel mass was monitored as function of time until osmotic equilibrium was established with the surrounding solvent. It was observed that osmotic pressure of polymer-solvent mixing, pi(m)
