Semi-interpenetrating polymer network (SIPN) hydrogels composed of sodium alginate/poly (vinyl alcohol), reinforced by PEG-grafted-graphene oxide (GO-g-PEG) were prepared by ionic crosslinking of sodium alginate. The impact of grafted PEG molecular weight with two molecular weights, i.e. 400 and 2000 g/mol, and component composition were studied on the mo ...

In this study, eco-friendly and transparent starch-based/polyvinyl alcohol/citric acid composite films are evaluated for their efficacy as wound dressing materials. The starch/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) materials with added citric acid (0.46-1.83 wt%) and glycerol were made and handled based on the modified casting method. This new formulation decreases the ...
