  • The novelty of this work is that nanostructured hydrogels were obtained by one stage polymerization.

  • The nanostructured hydrogels obtained here absorb more water than a conventional hydrogel.

  • The nanostructured hydrogels exhibit higher Young's modulus than conventional hydrogels at similar degree of swelling.
