By using the model of a randomly coiled chain, a relation is derived describing the equilibrium stress–strain behavior of variously ionized polyelectrolyte gels swollen in solutions of a uni–univalent salt. The effect of the concentration of bound counterions calculated on the basis of the cylindrical model and the effect of the change of length of the statistical chain segment with the change in ionization of the gel on stress–strain, swelling, and potentiometric equilibria is discussed.
