α-β-Poly(N-2-hydroxyethyl)-DL-aspartamide (PHEA) was derivatized with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). Aqueous solutions of the obtained copolymer PHEA-GMA (PHG) were irradiated by gamma rays with a dose rate of 0.5 KGy/h and at zero °C in the presence or in the absence of N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS). New hydrogel systems were obtained and characterized by FT-IR analyses and swelling measurements in aqueous medium at different pH values.
