## Abstract Interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogels composed of poly(2โethylโ2โoxazoline) (PEtOz) and chitosan (CS) were prepared with radical polymerization and were characterized for their swelling properties. Sample OC11 (hydrogel weight ratio PEtOz/CS = 1/1) swelled more than samples O

A novel natural polymer blend, namely, a semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) composed of crosslinked chitosan with glutaraldehyde and silk fibroin was prepared. The FTIR spectra of the semi-IPN manifested that the chitosan and silk fibroin had a strong hydrogen-bond interaction and form
Complexes of polyvinylpyrrolidone-polyacrylic acid (PVP-PAA) photopolymerized from a mixture of PVP and acrylic acid (AA) were characterized by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry. The swelling of PVP-PAA semi-interpenetrating network (
## Abstract Novel hydrogels of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) composed of polyacrylamide and poly(ฮณโglutamic acid) were synthesized. In these systems, both polymers were crosslinked independently; this reduced the potential loss of a polymer during the washing process, as often occurs in
