Moderately water-swollen hydrogels were prepared by copolymerizing n-stearyl acrylate (SA), 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl acrylate (TFEA), and acrylic acid (AA), and the effects of water and TFEA on the molecular and supramolecular structure were investigated. An incorporation of TFEA brought about a decreased d(2) spacing (long-range ordering) presumably due to a local render amorphous while d(1) (short-range ordering) was kept constant. Enhanced effects of water and stretching on the supramolecular organization were demonstrated. The transition temperature at which Young＇s modulus abruptly changes could be controlled by changing the TFEA content of the gel.
