Abstract

This paper shows some studies carried out throughout these two decades at the Center for Technological Applications and Nuclear Development (CEADEN) in the field of radiomodification and synthesis of polymeric materials through the use of ionizing radiation to obtain polymers by grafting, radiosterilization and purification of a natural polymer: sodium alginate, obtaining a copolymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and acrylamide, preparing hydrogel dressings from polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) for topical use, with two clinical trials were carried out in hospitals in Havana and CEADEN received the medical record from the Center for State Control of Medications, Equipment and Medical Devices (CEDMED) as a regulatory body, in the end it was describes the production of PVP and PVP-silver nanogels for controlled release.
