Abstract
A series of hydrophilic epoxy networks was prepared by end-linking reaction of diamino terminated poly(oxypropylene)-block-poly(oxyethylene)-block-poly(oxypropylene) of average molar mass ca 600 g/mol and diglycidyl ether of Bisphenol A propoxylate at various values of stoichiometric ratio of amino to epoxy groups. Epoxy hydrogels were obtained by swelling of the epoxy networks in deuterated water.
Nanophase separated structure of the hydrogels has been revealed by small-angle neutron scattering.
