Poly(acrylic acid)–poly(vinyl alcohol) copolymers with superabsorbent properties

Poly(acrylic acid)–poly(vinyl alcohol) copolymers with superabsorbent properties Biodegradable polyacrylates were produced by a series of novel copolymerization and/or crosslinking techniques using poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) moieties modified by the incorporation of olefinic structures. PVA was modified by a tosylation and/or detosylation reaction. The functionalized PVA was copolymerized and/or crosslinked with acrylic acid or its partially neutralized form to give crosslinked polyacrylates that could swell in water. Their swelling behavior was determined under load. Degradation studies were performed in α‐chymotrypsin, trypsin, and papain solutions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Abstract

Biodegradable polyacrylates were produced by a series of novel copolymerization and/or crosslinking techniques using poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) moieties modified by the incorporation of olefinic structures.

The functionalized PVA was copolymerized and/or crosslinked with acrylic acid or its partially neutralized form to give crosslinked polyacrylates that could swell in water. Their swelling behavior was determined under load. Degradation studies were performed in α‐chymotrypsin, trypsin, and papain solutions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
