In this work, we modeled the uptake of cationic oligomers in anionic pH-responsive networks. We varied the pK-values for the monomers in the network and the monomers in the oligomers. Further, we varied the influence of concentration and oligomer length. Besides the uptake, we investigated the ionization and swelling behavior of the network. Finally, a purification run was mimicked for selected systems.
