Abstract
The invention provides pH regulation systems of buffer-loaded hydrogels that can regulate pH of solutions for long periods of time. These pH-regulating hydrogels may be used in a variety of pH-dependent systems, including water treatment, agricultural soil, and biological applications. Demonstrated is an application in increasing the efficacy of weak base chemotherapeutics used for cancer treatments.
