Several hydrogels were prepared using radiolytic polymerization of aqueous solutions of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid containing appropriate comonomer such as acrylic acid and collagen. The hydrogels have been prepared at an irradiation dose of 25 kGy. The effects of the chemical structure of the monomer(s) and crosslinking agent on the yield of homopolymer(s) or copolymers and reaction time have been studied. This crosslinking agent include N, N’-methylene bisallyamide (MBA).
