In this work, hydrogels were synthesized by UV photo-polymerization of hydrophilic dextran functionalized with acrylate groups (Dex-A) and hydrophobic acrylate epoxidized soybean oil (AESO). The acrylation of dextran was accomplished by reacting dextran (M-w 70,000 g mol(-1)) with acryloyl chloride and pyridine. The Dex-A was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Five rigid hydrogels were prepared using the weight ratios of Dex-A and AESO as 10/90, 20/80, 30/70, 40/60, and 50/50. The hydrogels were characterized by FTIR, thermal gravimetric analyses (TGA) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). The experimental results demonstrated that the swelling and release profiles of the Dex-A/AESO hydrogels can be tailored by varying the ratio of Dex-A and AESO thus varying the balance of hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the network structures and the crosslinking density.
