SYNTHESIS OF POLYETHYLENE OXIDE (PEO)–CHITOSAN HYDROGEL PREPARED BY GAMMA RADIATION TECHNIQUE

Crosslinked PEO hydrogel containing chitosan for wound dressing has been prepared by gamma radiation technique. Chitosan solutions with different concentration (0.5-2% w/v) have been blended with 5% aqueous solution of PEO and irradiated at the doses 20-40 kGy by gamma rays. The copolymers were char...
