A novel polypeptide hydrogel has been synthesized by crosslinking poly(L-glutamic acid) (PLG) with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The PLG-PEG hydrogel was shown to be highly hydrophilic, and the extent of swelling varied with pH, increasing at higher ionization of the PLG. Aside from electrostatic eff

## Abstract A novel acrylamide/maleic acid copolymer [P(AM‐MA)] hydrogel nanofibrous membrane with a fiber diameter of ca. 120 nm is prepared by electrospinning an aqueous P(AM‐MA) solution with diethylene glycol as crosslinker, followed by a heat‐induced esterification crosslinking reaction at 145
A series of novel silane crosslinked hydrogel was prepared from kappa carrageenan (KC), acrylic acid (AA) using vinyltriethoxysilane (VTESi). Potassium persulphate initiated the grafting and copolymerization reactions between reactants. In addition, the condensation of the hydroxyl groups of KC and
