Alcohol absorbent gels based on AA and a PEG macromer

Organogels are materials which can solidify organic solvents; they may be composed of low molecular weight or polymeric materials [1]. Alcogels are organogels with ability ofabsorbing alcohols [2, 3]. In this study for first time synthesis of elastomeric alcogels based on a specific type of PEGmacromer and acrylic acid with tri methyl propane tri acrylate (TMPTA) as crosslinker is reported. Swelling behavior and DMTA analysis were investigated for characterization
