Abstract Several hydrogels were synthesized by free-radical polymerization in an aqueous medium based on potato starch
(PS), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and N,N′-Methylenebisacrylamide (MBAm), being possible to study these hydrogels as a function of the proportion of components incorporated. In this way, the products generated from the
synthesis were characterized by swelling and deswelling kinetics, the first swelling being verified with Schott
and statistical models, allowing to contrast the proximity between the experimental and theoretical behavior.
Additionally, water retention in soil (R%), spectroscopy (FTIR), morphological (SEM), and thermal (TGA and
DSC) analysis allowing to know the intrinsic characteristics of the material, increasing… More >
