Thermoresponsive hydrogels based on alginate-g-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) copolymers obtained by low doses of gamma radiation

[Display omitted] •Alginate-g-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) copolymers were synthesized.•Low doses of 60Co gamma radiation lead to thermosensitive water-soluble copolymers.•Hydrogels were formed using calcium ions to crosslink alginate-based copolymers.•Swelling ratios were lower at 37°C tha...
