Physically Cross-Linked PVA Hydrogels as Potential Wound Dressings: How Freezing Conditions and Formulation Composition Define Cryogel Structure and Performance by Anna Górska, Ewelina Baran, Justyna Knapik-Kowalczuk, Joanna Szafraniec-Szczęsny, Marian Paluch, Piotr Kulinowski, Aleksander Mendyk

“…Among the tested formulations, an 8% (<i>w</i>/<i>w</i>) PVA_56–98 solution (Mw~195,000; DH = 98.0–98.8%) with 10% (<i>w</i>/<i>w</i>) propylene glycol (PG) provided the best balance of stretchability, durability, and low adhesion. Notably, while −25 °C is often used for cryogel preparation, freezing the gel precursor at −80 °C yielded superior results, producing materials with more open, interconnected structures and enhanced mechanical strength and elasticity—deviating from conventional practices. …”
