Question

Outline the experimental method used to prepare Hydrogels/ Cryogels by Free Radical Polymerization technique in the lab.

Definition Definition Chemical process in which one or more monomers combine to produce a very large chain-like molecule called a polymer. The functional groups present on the monomers and their steric effects are responsible for polymerization through a sequence of reactions that vary in complexity. There exists a stable covalent chemical bond between monomers that sets apart polymerization from other processes.

Outline methods for the production of vinyl polymers using bulk methods. Bulk polymerization or mass polymerization is a facile and environmentally friendly method for formation of polymer nanocomposites due to the low viscosity of monomers. It is carried out by adding a soluble radical initiator to pure monomer in liquid state. The initiator should dissolve in the monomer. The reaction is initiated by heating or exposing to radiation.
