Preparation and characterization of novel pH‐sensitive binary grafted polymeric blends of gelatin and poly(vinyl alcohol): Water sorption and blood compatibility study

Abstract: ABSTRACT:In this study, we attempted the synthesis and characterization of novel biocompatible hydrogels of binary polymeric blends of crosslinked poly(acrylic acid) grafted onto poly(vinyl alcohol) and gelatin by a redox polymerization technique. The end polymer was characterized by IR spectral analysis, differential scanning calorimetry measurements, and scanning electron microscopy. The prepared smart, environment-responsive hydrogels, containing polyelectrolyte domains, were assessed for their water sorpti… Show more

“…For biomedical applications, such as controlled cell adhesion surfaces and blood contacting materials, biocompatibility is one of the most important and indispensable components. 13 Therefore, further modication is required to improve the antithrombogenicity of NC gels. 12 In addition, the PNIPA-NC gel can adsorb large quantities of BSA.…”

“…However, the desired choice of the best method to produce homogeneous composites with specific characteristics remains an unsolved problem. Stimuli-responsive polymers constitute a versatile class of materials finding a wide spectrum of applications in biomedical, pharmaceutical, and industrial fields (5). These polymers can change their volume significantly in response to small alterations of certain environmental parameters.…”
