Cross-linking poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) with poly(ethylene glycol), to obtain new materials for biomedical use

The reaction between PSMA and PEG gives cross-linked materials, suitable for biomedical use. The two materials obtained by mixing the reagents in different ratios and conditions were tested by SEM, sptlight FT-IR, TGA and DSC. The tests carried out show that the cross-linking reaction occurs in the experimental conditions used.
