Binary Graft of Poly(<i>N</i>-vinylcaprolactam) and Poly(acrylic acid) onto Chitosan Hydrogels Using Ionizing Radiation for the Retention and Controlled Release of Therapeutic Compounds

In this study, we carried out the synthesis of a thermo- and pH-sensitive binary graft, based on <i>N</i>-vinylcaprolactam (NVCL) and pH sensitive acrylic acid (AAc) monomers, onto chitosan gels (<i>net</i>-CS) by ionizing radiation. Pre-oxidative irradiation and direct metho...
