Radiation synthesis of hydrogels for biomedical applications

Abstract

Thermally reversible hydrogels were synthesized by radiation-induced copolymerization of acryloyl-Lpropine methyl ester with hydrophilic or hydrophobic monomers. The preparation of this copolymers has the purpose to obtain materials for biomedicalk application as drug delivery systems. Acetaminophen, an analgesic and antipyretic drug, was entrapped into some thermoresponsive hydrogels. It was found that the release profiles of drug can be controlled by copolymer porosity, hydrophilicity and changing the environmental temperature. (author). 4 refs., 3 figs.
