Multifunctional PEG ‐Based Macroinimer‐Mediated Synthesis of Poly( N ‐Vinylimidazole) Hydrogels: Structural Characterization and Responsive Swelling Behavior
Poly( N ‐vinylimidazole) (PVI)‐based hydrogels were synthesized using multifunctional polyethylene glycol (PEG)‐based macroinimers (400–2000 g mol −1 ) that simultaneously served as radical‐generating and network‐forming components, eliminating additional initiators and conventional crosslinkers. Structural and...
