- Abstract
The article presents polymer engineering research into the synthesis, characterization, and swelling behavior of carrageenan-g-poly(acrylamide)/poly(vinylsulfonic acid, sodium salt) as a novel semi-interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogel. The hydrogel was prepared by graft copolymerization of acrylamide with crosslinking agent methylenebisacrylamide and initiator ammonium persulfate. The structure of the final product was confirmed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Results show the hydrogel's swelling capacity is affected by the ammonium persulfate, methylenebisacrylamide, and acrylamide.
