Synthesis of Novel Tamarind Gum-<i>co</i>-poly(acrylamidoglycolic acid)-Based pH Responsive Semi-IPN Hydrogels and Their Ag Nanocomposites for Controlled Release of Chemotherapeutics and Inactivation of Multi-Drug-Resistant Bacteria

In this paper, novel pH-responsive, semi-interpenetrating polymer hydrogels based on tamarind gum-<i>co</i>-poly(acrylamidoglycolic acid) (TMGA) polymers were synthesized using simple free radical polymerization in the presence of bis[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] phosphate as a crosslinker...
