Description

Hydrogels based on poly vinyle alcohol methacrylic acid/ 2-hydroxy ethyle methacrylate [P(PVA-MAAc/HEMA)] were synthesized by gamma-radiation. The prepared hydrogels were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The results of the adsorption studies reveals the higher adsorption capacity of P(PVA-MAAc/ HEMA), hydrogel for the removal of methylene blue and xylenol orange dyes from aqueous solution.
