Hydration characteristics of water in radiation polymerized hema-co- ionomeric controlled drug delivery matrices: a DSC study

  • 1. Radiation Technology Development Section, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai (India)

Description

The changes in the bulk (freezable) and bound (non-freezable) water contents of radiation polymerized (2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) containing two different types of ionomers have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that introduction of 5-10% of acrylic acid into PHEMA matrix affects mainly the bulk water content whereas introduction of sodium para styrene sulphonate affects both types of water significantly.
