Synthesis of polymer ion-exchange hydrogels under gamma-irradiation {60}Co

Abstract

We have reported earlier about the modification of ion-exchange hydrogel under the influence of gamma radiation. The optimal absorbed dose of irradiation had been choosen for radiation modification of polymer hydrogels by ionits to produce products with a high content of the gel - fractions and sufficient mechanical properties. The dependence of the static exchange capacity of hydrogels on the type of ionit and its fractional composition had been studied. The dependence of the static exchange capacity of the quantitative composition of the ionit in the volume of the hydrogel had been investigated. The ion-exchange medical eye lenses had been made under selected conditions of synthesis. Their sorption properties had been studied.
