Hydrogels

Hydrophilic polymers with pendant functional groups form polymeric supports for various technological applications such as ion exchange, reagents, anchoring agents and catalysts. In the present study, 2- acrylamido-2methyl propane-1-sulphonic acid (AAmPSA) was polymerized by chemical initiation meth

A series of thermo-responsive hydrogels were synthesized from N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm), glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), and N, N-dimethyl acrylamide (DMA). The effect of the different monomer ratios of GMA/DMA in the copolymeric hydrogel on the swelling behaviors, physical properties, and drug re

A wide spectrum of reactive networks and graft copolymers of acrylamide and acrylic acid, alone or with some binary monomers, have been synthesized by benzoyl peroxide as an initiator using glutaraldehyde as the crosslinker and have been characterized by water uptake studies. It was observed that th
