Abstrakt: The study aimed to synthesize alginate hydrogel-based composites which could be injected for medical purpose and can be cured in situ gelling after the injection process. The effect of reduced graphene oxide (r-GO) addition on Alginate /poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogel to physical properties were evaluated. Synthesis of hydrogel Alginate/PVA/r-GO composite was previously performed by production of r-GO using Hummer method. The composition of r-GO used in composite hydrogel was 0.4, 0.8, 1.2 and 1.6% wt. The sample was then characterized using XRD, FTIR, and analyzed perform with its curing time, injectable performance, swelling ratio, and water content.
