A pH-responsive hybrid hydrogel, namely poly(Methacrylic acid-grafted-Ethylene Glycol) P(MAA-g-EG) cross-linked with Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) polymer and photopolymerized by visible light. The resulting polymer turned out to have better integrities, high swelling ratios, pH-responsive and biocompatible character. Also the visible-light-induced synthesis of these pH-responsive composite wherein eosin Y is used as photoinitiator and triethanolamine is used as a co-initiator is also disclosed in the invention.
