| abstract |
The present invention discloses a thermoformable dual-network hydrogel composition from a crosslinked polymer derived from one or more olefinically unsaturated polymerizable carboxylic acid monomers and one or more thermoplastic polyurethanes. The composition is formed. The water gel has a high modulus of elasticity and yield stress under low shear, and a suitable but significant adhesion. The hydrocolloid composition provides useful materials especially for personal care, healthcare, medical and medical applications. |
