Abstract:

The aim of this work was the synthesis of functional hydrogel materials obtained by photopolymerization. The resulting systems were characterized in terms of chemical structure using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Subsequently, their sorption capacity and surface morphology were determined along with roughness analysis. The resulting materials have been modified with fluorescein dye and can be used in many branches of industry and medicine for example in innovative diagnostic systems.

Keywords: biohydrogels; hydrogels; thermoreversible materials
