Abstract
To compare the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of PVA/Dextran blended hydrogel obtained by European Pharmacopiea (EP) and Japanese Industrial Standards 1099 (JIS) method, the hydrogels with various PVA/Dextran rates were prepared and their WVTR values were then checked. As dextran in the hydrogel was increased, the WVTR of hydrogel was increased. The WVTR of hydrogels were 660-1500 and -day in EP and JIS method, respectively. There were no significant differences between the WVTRs of the hydrogels obtained by EP and those obtained by JIS method. Thus, JIS method was recommended as a WVTR method of hydrogel due to relatively simpler and shorter time.
