Abstract
The contraction of poly(acrylic acid-co-butyl methacrylate) (P(AA-co-BMA)) gel induced by complexation with linear Poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) is quite different from that of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) or poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) gel. The dynamic mechanic properties vary greatly between complexed and uncomplexed networks. It was found that the concentration of PVP has a strong effect on the complexation with P(AA-co-BMA) gel and the dynamic mechanic properties of the P(AA-co-BMA)/PVP complexes.
