Characterization of hydrogels formed from acrylate modified poly(vinyl alcohol) macromers
247
TL;DR: In this article, a polyvinyl alcohol was modified with pendent acrylate groups to form a macromer that was crosslinked via photopolymerization, and the equilibrium swelling ratio and compressive modulus were characterized for all of the resulting PVA hydrogels.
