Thanks for sharing your valuable experiences

Hey! I know this is a weird question, but I need to make a grow-toy (lie the dinosaurs that grow in water) from scratch. I can't find any informatio on it other that it is made of "a mixture of sodium polyacrylate, polyvinyl acetate (a polymer used as a binder) and ethylene vinyl acetate". However, I have no idea how to make them. Could You please walk me through the process of making it from scratch? Is it even possible without a professional equipment?

I have some questions that I hope you can answer: 1/ What is the temperature of the solution after being divided and stirred before being placed in ice water? 2/ VSA put it in for the wrong purpose?

thanks the swelling ratio increases with an increase of VSA due to an increased in functional groups of SO3 in VSA are negatively charged polyelectrolytes in the polymerization medium; therefore, strong electrostatic repulsive forces hydrogel would be obtained that has a higher swelling capacity.

I am trying to prepare this hydrogel, without VSA. Here there is no mention of Nitrogen environment, which I frequently encounter while going through literature. It would be great if you can throw some light on it.

How to use these hydrogel like(alginate geletine) polymeric hydrogel for biological applications like antimicrobial, anti cancer etc.....

Of course you can add. However, since the ionic power balance will change, there will be differences in swelling values.

those highy swellable are for what purpose? because as far as i know too much swellability is not prefered in vivo in humans because it puts too much pressure in the nearby tissue and increases tension. Are those swellable well suited for agriculture??

Swelling is also bad for applications in batteries which is what I'm interested in... I've seen one paper that used cellulose as the copolymer, I'm trying to figure out the rest of their process, i.e. amount of AA monomer added.
