Abstract

Cryogels, by their particular morphology and mechanical properties, proved to be invaluable materials in biomedicine and biotechnology as carriers for molecules and cells, chromatographic materials for cell separations and cell culture. Methods used in the characterization of porosity and sorption properties of cryogels are very needful tools, which assist the investigator in the decision on the performances of the gel. Herein, we describe the preparation of ionic interpenetrating polymer network composite cryogels and the characterization methods of their porous morphology, and then the methods used for testing their sorption properties for ionic dyes used as models for drugs.
