Focused on biomedical applications of thermo-responsive polymers, low-doses of gamma radiation from a 60Co source were applied in a simple one-pot method to synthesize graft copolymers of alginate and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) ...

Low doses of gamma radiation from 60Co have been used in the synthesis of water soluble alginate-g-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) copolymers. Irradiation was carried out using glass vials containing aqueous solutions ...
