✦ Synopsis


Hydrogel blends were prepared from water-soluble polymers of poly(vinyl alcohol~inyl acetate) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone). The method of preparation was optimized and different compositions of blends were characterized. The effect of thermal treatment and the introduction of an aldehydic crosslinking agent in the blend was also studied. The swelling characteristics of the various compositions, their thermal behaviour and the state of water was examined. Mechanical properties of the hydrogels were determined and it was observed that blends containing glutaraldehyde produced materials with good mechanical integrity and high water contents.

Transparent hydrogels were prepared by blending solutions of poly(vinyl alcohol-vinyl acetate) with either poly(acrylic acid) or poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) in the presence of glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking agent. The network obtained from the poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) system was subjected to various th

## Abstract In this study, hydrogels were prepared from blends of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP). The miscibility of the polymers was confirmed with differential scanning calorimetry with the appearance of a single glass‐transition temperature. Additionally, a negative

Blends of crystallizable poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (d.s.c.). PVA with different degrees of hydrolysis (88 and 99 wt%) and PVP with different molecular weights (10 000 and 360 000 g mo1-1) were used. The blends exhib
