Influence of processing parameters on the macroscopic mechanical behavior of PVA hydrogels

Résumé

This paper investigates the influence of three different processing parameters on the global mechanical behavior of PVA (Polyvinyl alcohol)/DMSO (Dimethylsulfoxide) hydrogels: the initial concentration of PVA, the DMSO:H2O ratio and the number of freeze/thaw cycle applied to the material. A specific thermo-regulated testing apparatus for hydrophilic materials is presented, along with the performed cyclic and rupture tests. The observed mechanical responses are explained by an in-depth analysis of the cross-linking phenomenon. Using the Neo-Hookean hyperelastic model, the experimental data is fitted and a link between the density of macro-molecular chains in the material and its mechanical behavior is established. Strong differences are observed and discussed.
