The aim of this work was to establish whether the lifetime of the junction zones in the poly(vinyl alcohol)/ borate gels depended on the chemical composition or concentration of the constituents. It was found that the maximum in the distribution of lifetimes was about 0.3 s and independent of the po
## 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
## Abstract Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/sodium alginate (SA) blend hydrogels have immense potential for use as functional biomaterials. Understanding of influences of processing parameters and compositions on mechanical and swelling properties of PVA/SA blend hydrogels is very important. In this work
