ABSTRACT
PEG at compositions of 10, 15
and 20 g were added into the initial formulation of hydrogel L, which was
composed of 6 g low molecular weight chitosan (LMC)
and 14 g poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) in 100 g of 2% lactic acid. The mixtures were
moulded and exposed to γ radiation at 7 kGy. The hydrogels obtained were
characterized in term of gel fraction, swelling property, syneresis effect, FTIR, XRD and cross section morphology. The results indicated PEG reduces
almost 27% crosslinking density of the LMC-PVP hydrogel yet increased
hydrogel’s water holding capacity from 450% and 480% to 750% and 650% in
phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at pH5.5 and pH7.0, respectively.
Also PEG enhanced the ability of LMC-PVP hydrogel
to retain its moisture from dehydration at body temperature. The morphological
study showed PEG developed thick pores wall and reduced the pores size
of the hydrogels’ network.
Keywords: Covalent-crosslink; plasticizer;

ABSTRAK
PEG
dengan komposisi yang pelbagai
iaitu 10, 15 dan 20 g telah ditambah ke dalam formulasi asal hidrogel
L yang telah disediakan melalui pengadunan 6 g kitosan berjisin
molekul rendah (LMC)
dengan 14 g poli (vinil pirolidon) dan 100 g asid laktik berkepekatan
2%. Semua adunan dimasukkan dalam acuan dan didedahkan kepada sinar
γ pada dos 7kGy. Hidrogel yang diperoleh
dibuat pencirian daripada aspek kandungan gel, sifat pembengkakan,
kesan sineresis, FTIR,
XRD
dan morfologi hidrogel menggunakan mikroskop imbasan
elektron (SEM).
Keputusan pencirian menunjukkan 10 g PEG telah mengurangkan ketumpatan
jaringan taut silangan hidrogel sebanyak 14% tetapi meningkatkan
keupayaan memegang air daripada 450% dan 480% kepada 750% dan 650%
masing-masing dalam larutan penimbal fosfat (PBS)
pada pH5.5 dan pH7.0. PEG juga meningkatkan keupayaan hidrogel
LMC-PVP untuk mengekalkan kelembapannya daripada terhidrat
pada suhu badan. Kajian morfologi juga menunjukkan PEG telah
membentuk satu jaringan hidrogel berliang lebih kecil dengan dinding
liang yang lebih tebal.
Kata kunci: Keliangan; pembengkakan ekuilibrium; pemplastik; sineresis;
taut silang kovalen
