| dc.description.abstract | A poly(vinyl alcohol)-borax cross-linked hydrogel has been studied by Small Angle Neutron Scattering as a function of borax concentration in the wave-vector transfer (Q) range of 0.017 Angstrom sup(-1) to 0.36 Angstrom sup(-1). It is found that as the concentration of borax increases, so does the intensity of scattering in this range. Beyond a borax concentration of 2 mg/ml, the increase in cross-linked PVA chains leads to cross-linked units larger than 150 Angstrom as evidenced by a reduction in intensity in the lower Q region. |  |
