Abstract: The traditional freeze-drying method for preparing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels involves a complex process. Conventional one-step drying processes for preparing high-strength PVA hydrogels often yield materials with inadequate mechanical properties and insufficient lubrication. To overcome… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13091461
Abstract: Stable chitosan/PVA-based hydrogels were obtained by combining covalent and physical cross-linking methods. As covalent cross-linkers, epoxy agents with different chain lengths were used, while freeze–thaw cycles were applied for additional physical cross-linking. The chemical structure… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/polym11060952
Abstract: We proposed a novel strategy in the fabrication of biodegradable poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (P(AAc-co-Am)/PVA) double network (DN) hydrogels with good mechanical and self-healing properties. In the DN hydrogel system, P(AAc-co-Am) polymers form a network through… read more here.
