Abstract

The copolymer of PAANa-co-PVP was prepared by copolymerization of acrylate and N-vinyl pyrrolidone, intiated with the NH3 · H2O/H2O2 redoxy intiator. The structure of the copolymer was characterized via FTIR method. It is educed that the reactivity ratio of AANa(r1) and NVP(r2) is 3.296 and 0.808 respectively, by analyzing the reactivity ratio results calculated by mathematical methods of FR, KT and YBR, via the aid of the test results of element analysis. The extrinsic cytotoxicity of the copolymer was evaluated through the 3-4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction assay. It is found that the copolymer is biocompatible.
