In this work, a two-phase hydrogel system was prepared by physically imbedding a xerogel in the core of a cryogel which was freeze thawed. The cryogels were prepared with poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) while the xerogels were prepared by UV polymerisation of 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NVP), acrylic acid (AA) and various percentages of ibuprofen sodium salt. Mechanical and ...
