Abstract:The objective of this work was to examine the effect of inorganic additives on thermal behavior of homo-and hetero-polymeric hydrogel. Nano SiO2 and TiO2 doped acrylic acid (AA) based homo-polymeric and acrylic acid/vinyl pyrrolidone (AA/VP) based hetero-polymeric hydrogels were synthesized by using in-situ free radical polymerization technique. Additives were used in the ratio of 0.005, 0.5 and 1 (wt %) on AA based homo-polymeric hydrogels. Hetero-polymeric hydrogels were prepared in ratios of 1:3, 2:2 and 3:… Show more
