Cellulose hydrogels have been synthesized by reacting solutions of cellulose xanthate with different amounts of epichlorohydrin (0-24% w/w on cellulose) after which the cellulose was regenerated. The weight fraction of crystalline cellulose, determined by density measurements, decreases with the ext

Copolymers of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (HEMA/NVP) and methyl methacrylate (MMA)/NVP were prepared in the presence of varying amounts of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and methylene diacrylamide (MDA) as crosslinkers by photopolymerisation. The resultant solid polymer
We have been interested in the synthesis of hydrogels with fast swelling kinetics and superabsorbent properties. To increase the water absorption rate, interconnected pores were introduced to the hydrogels. Since the pore size in the dried hydrogels is in the order of hundreds of micrometers, these
## Abstract Glycol chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) interpenetrating polymer network type superporous hydrogels were prepared using a gas foaming/freezeβdrying method. The effect of the molecular weight of the strengthener, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), on the swelling and mechanical behavior of the super
