Within the scope of this study, antimicrobial poly 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate- glycidyl methacrylate , poly HEMA-GMA , cryogels were synthesized and Ag I ions were immobilized to the structure through the amino acid L-Arginine. For characterization of the structure; swelling test, Fourier transform infrared FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy SEM , surface area BET , elemental analysis and ICP-OES methods were performed. The L-Arginine amino acid was used as an Ag I chelating ligand and the melittin protein adsorption capacity of cryogels was determined as 173.9 mg/g cryogel.}, number={2}, publisher={Hacettepe University}
