To specifically study the impact of phase-separation processes on hydrogels mechanical reinforcement, we worked under isochoric conditions developing architectures not only thermo-responsive but also able to keep a high level of hydration on both sides of the phase-separation temperature. For this purpose, grafted hydrogels have been formulated from a chemically cross-linked hydrophilic polymer network grafted with thermo-sensitive side-chains of LCST type (PNIPAm). From this primary structure and keeping constant the weight ratio between the hydrophilic and thermo-responsive parts, we demonstrate that the thermodynamic characteristics of the phase transition (enthalpy and temperature transitions) are only very weakly dependent on the molar...
