In this study, it was aimed to synthesize and characterize a new polymeric cryogel system to be formed with polymeric linoleic acid (PLina), a vegetable oil-based polymeric fatty acid, and the widely preferred 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) monomer. cryogels. For this purpose, firstly, autoxidation and hydroxylation reactions were carried out for polymeric lineloic acid, respectively. Hydroxylated polymeric lineloic acid (PLina-OH) and HEMA monomer were subjected to a cryogenic gelation reaction in the presence of N,N′-methylene bisacrylamide (MBAA) as crosslinking agent. The obtained new cryogel was characterized by FTIR, SEM, BET, TGA analyses. The swelling behavior of the synthesized PLinaOH-HEMA cryogels in water was concluded with kinetic studies. In the other hands, some of polar and non-polar other solvents was used for investigation of all cryogels to see their potentials for solvent uptake.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
