Drying and shrinkage of polymer gels [PDF]
The polymer hydrogel was synthesized by photo-polymerization process (UV light, 60 oC) in presence of Photo-initiator (IrgacureR) and Cross-linker (NN'-methylene bisacrylamide; MBAM). In the present work, the drying of polymer hydrogel was carried out to study the effect of temperature, gel-sheet thickness, monomer ratio of acryl acid to acrylamide (AA/
