Crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogels as swollen elastic networks

Peppas, Nikolaos A., Merrill, Edward W.·1977·Journal of Applied Polymer Science

Abstract

Transparent crosslinked PVA hydrogels were prepared by electron beam irradiation of aqueous solutions under nitrogen. These weak hydrogels, upon swelling at 30°C in water, showed low elastic moduli (up to 50 psi), low ultimate tensile strength (up to 4 psi), and low extensibility to break (not higher than 85%). Values of the molecular weight between crosslinks Mc were calculated from swelling and from tensile experiments. In fact, two values of Mc were calculated for each swelling experiment, (a) allowing for observed variation in the polymer–solvent interaction parameter χ 1 with concentration, and (b) fixing χ 1 = 0.494 according to literature data. The correlation of the Mc obtained from tensile data with the Mc obtained from swelling data, by (a) or (b), was approximately linear and gave the same per cent agreement.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
