Radiation-Induced Synthesis of Polymer Networks Based on Thermoresponsive Ethylene Glycol Propylene Glycol Monomers.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, different poly((ethylene glycol)-(propylene glycol)) methacrylate (P(EGPG)MA) hydrogels were synthesized by gamma-radiation-induced polymerization and crosslinking from a monomer-bisolvent mixture using the following monomers: (ethylene glycol)₆ methacrylate (EG₆MA), ((ethylene glycol)₆-(propylene glycol)₃) methacrylate (EG₆PG₃MA), ((propylene glycol)₆-(ethylene glycol)₃) methacrylate (PG₆EG₃MA), and (propylene glycol)₅ methacrylate (PG₅MA), along with different water/ethanol compositions as the solvent. The monomer-bisolvent mixture was exposed to various radiation doses (5, 10, 15, 25, and 50 kGy). Considerable emphasis was placed on optimizin
