Abstract
Mechanical properties of polyvinylpyrrolidone hydrogel dressings were investigated as a function of production factor combinations. The expe rimental results show that the peak-load depends strongly on the PVP c oncentration, the break-strain is inversely dependent on the radiation dose and the modulus of elasticity depends mainly on the PVP concentr ation.
