i want to find swelling degree of cross linked films.i need to know whether any relation is there between swelling degree and biodegradability of films.Actually what is the real purpose of doing sweeling degree of films or water uptake of crosslinked polymer.what idea we get from doing this? i know for wound healing application sweeling degree of polymer should be between particular value. any other purpose is there to find sweeling degree of crosslinked fillms?plz answer this question?
Hydrogel films used as membranes or coating are essential components of devices interfaced with biological systems.Their design is greatly challenged by the need to find mild synthesis and processing conditions that preserve their bio-compatibility and the integrity of encapsulated compounds. This approach exploits the strong solvent depletion created at the surface of a polymer substrates that swell in associative polymer solutions. This local suction effect induces the gelation and growth of hydrogel films.. Other solutes can be easily incorporated in the so - formed hydrogel films to provide other functionalities.

if i get swelling degree of films is above 100 means ...what information i will get from this?
