A series of thermo-responsive hydrogels have been synthesized by radiation-induced crosslinking polymerization in bulk based on; oligoether methacrylates (OEGMAs) of side chain lengths of 2–19 EG; monomer units. Side chain lengths have been shown to have a pronounced effect on synthesis parameters (monomers of longer side chains are more easily crosslinked, and the inert atmosphere promotes crosslinking more than air) and hydrogel properties (the thermal stability of obtained networks and their swelling capacities, as well as the temperature of Volume Phase Transition (VPT), increase with increasing oligoether side group length, while the VPT becomes less narrow). Networks based on oligoether methacrylates of sufficiently long side chains (over 7 monomer units) are capable of partial crystallization, forming self-composites, and the crystalline phase is chemically linked to a continuous, coherent polymer network.

辐射诱导的交联聚合反应是基于下列条件合成了一系列热响应性水凝胶：侧链长度为2–19 EG的低聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯（OEGMAs）；单体单元。侧链长度已显示出对合成参数（长侧链的单体更易于交联，惰性气氛比空气更能促进交联）和水凝胶特性（所得网络的热稳定性及其溶胀能力，以及体积相变（VPT）的温度随着寡聚醚侧基长度的增加而增加，而VPT的宽度变窄。基于具有足够长侧链（超过7个单体单元）的低聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯的网络，能够部分结晶，形成自复合物，
