COMPOSITION FOR PREPARATION OF GRADIENT HYDROGEL POLYMER MATERIAL, METHOD OF PREPARATION THEREOF, AND GRADIENT HYDROGEL POLYMER MATERIAL Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: polymer production.

SUBSTANCE: invention provides composition for preparation of gradient hydrogel polymer material based on copolymers of acrylamide and N,N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide representing following system: (i) mixture of dilute solution containing 2-3% acrylamide, 0.1-0.2% N,N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide, 0.01% ammonium persulfate, and, as viscosity regulator, 0.5-2.0% glycerol or 1:1 mixture of glycerol and polyvinyl alcohol, each taken in amount 3.5-8.0%, in bidistilled water and (ii) and concentrated solution containing 6-45% acrylamide, 0.6-1.0% N,N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide, and 0.04% ammonium persulfate in bidistilled water, said dilute solution constituting 75-80% and said concentrated solution 20-25% of the total weight of the system. Components are distributed in gradient manner in final system. Invention also discloses a method of preparing gradient hydrogel polymer material based on above-indicated copolymers and indicated gradient hydrogel polymer material. Value and direction of gradient of modulus of elasticity of hydrogel polymer materials is controlled by concentration of viscosity regulator.

EFFECT: expanded possibilities for preparing gradient hydrogel polymer materials.
