Poly(vinyl alcohol)/sulfonated polyester hydrogels produced by freezing and thawing technique: preparation and characterization
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels were obtained by freezing (-22 °C) and thawing (+25 °C) process, resulting in a semi-interpenetrating polymer network (s-IPN) with a sulfonated polyester (PES). The cryo-gels samples were analysed in terms of its water uptake capacity (WU) as a fun...
