    This study investigated the effect of different plasticizers on poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) hydrogels. The document includes figures showing the viscosity versus shear rate for PVP with various plasticizer loadings. PVP with 1g of glycerol or PEG had the highest viscosity, decreasing with increasing shear rate in a shear thinning behavior. The conclusion and potential future work are not included in the summary.

    STUDENT NAME
    INTRODUCTION
    The aim of the experiment was to determine the effect of
    poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG) and glycerol as plasticizers on
    hydrogel membranes synthesized from poly(N-vinyl-2-
    pyrrolidone)(PVP) in aqueous polymeric solutions.

    The influence of plasticizer loading on shear flow behaviour of PVP. Fig 1 and 2 illustrates
    the the flow curves of PVP without plasctizer loading and with varying plascticizers loading.
    The figures revealed that PVP with plasticizer loading of 1g Glycerol and 1g PEG had higher
    viscosity of 181.15 and 106.46. however, it decreases with increasing shear rate exhibiting
    shear thinning behaviour and the difference in viscosity reduced for all formulations at the
    high shear rate region
    CONCLUSION
