STUDIES ON PROPERTIES OF ORGANIC HYBRID HYDROGELS. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, March 2009, Pages: 68
Hydrogels are three-dimensional hydrophilic polymers
which swell but do not dissolve when brought into
contact with water, and they sometimes undergo a
volume phase change in response to a change in
surrounding conditions, such as temperature, pH
value, ionic strength, and electric field. In this
book, the first part, prepare a series of the
organic hybrid hydrogels based on N-
isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) and gelatin, and to
investigate systematically their swelling behavior
and physical properties in deionized water at
different temperatures. In second part, the
objective in this part is to investigate the effect
of the crosslinking agent of gelatin in the organic
hybrid gels on the drug release behavior for the
drugs with different molecular size and charges. In
third part, a series of hydrogels based on gelatin
and intercalated-hydrotalcite (IHT) were prepared by
crosslinked with glutaraldehyde. The effect of
different contents of IHT in the hybrid
nanocomposite gels on the swelling behavior and
physical properties was investigated. Moreover, the
drug release behaviors of these gels were also
investigated.
