Interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogels composed of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and chitosan were prepared by UV irradiation. The characteristics of IPN hydrogels were investigated by swelling experiments, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (

## Abstract Physically crosslinked chitosanβ__g__βpoly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogels with controllable graft percent were prepared in three steps. Poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) was first grafted onto chitosan via radical copolymerization. Then the copolymer was converted into chitosanβ__g__βpoly(vinyl alco
## Abstract A series of physically crosslinked complex hydrogels of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) were prepared via physical mixing and a freeze/thaw technique. The morphology of the CMC/PVA complex gels was analyzed with differential scanning calorimetry and wid
