Exploration of polymers and cross-linking agents to satisfy p** reword this
PVC: a deeply-integrated polymer applied in industrial settings
Industrial applications such as plastic bags, containers, and pipes
Slightly rigid, easy to mould, but low temperature resistance (around 60 degrees celcius)
monomer: vinyl chloride
3rd most widely produced synthstic polymer of plastic
Cross-linking agents
organic peroxides: enhace heat and chemical resistance, reduce flammability, enhance mechanical and electrical properties, and resisstance to environmental stress cracking
Hydrogels - an innovative group of polymers developed with a wide range of applications
Applications
Sustainable drug delivery system
wound/skin hydration treatments
Contact lenses
Biocompatible, significant water absorption, moisture maintenance, controlled drug release, etc.
possible polymers and their cross-linking agents
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)
Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)
(Sodium) Alginate
Calcium Chloride (CaCl2)
Copper sulfate (CuSO4)
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3)
Gelatin
