Stimuli-responsive nanocomposite gels

A new class of polymer hydrogels, nanocomposite hydrogels (NC gels), consisting of a unique organic (polymer)/inorganic (clay) network structure, was synthesized by in situ free-radical polymerization in the presence of exfoliated clay nanoparticles in an aqueous system. The resulting NC gels overcame most of the disadvantages associated with chemically cross-linked hydrogels, such as mechanical fragility, structural heterogeneity, and slow de-swelling rate. By using thermo-sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) as a constituent polymer, NC gels with remarkable mechanical, optical, and swelling properties as well as thermo-sensitivity were obtained. The various properties of NC gels, such as transparency, gel volume, cell culturing, and surface friction changed significantly in response to the temperature and surrounding conditions. All the excellent properties and new stimuli-responsive characteristics of NC gels are attributed to the unique PNIPA/clay network structure. The thermo-sensitivities and the transition temperature can largely be controlled by varying the clay content and by the addition of solutes.     

Hydrophobically modified hydrogels containing azoaromatic cross-links: swelling properties, degradation in vivo and application in drug delivery

Hydrogels based on n-alkyl methacrylate esters (n-AMA) of various chain lengths, acrylic acid, and acrylamide cross-linked with 4,4-di(methacryloylamino)azobenzene were synthesized. The equilibrium swelling degree of the hydrogels in buffered solutions at pH 7.4 was shown to be very low in the pH range of the stomach. The entire swelling processes of the gels in the gastrointestinal tract were mainly dependent on those in the small intestine. In the buffered solution of pH 7.4 the diffusion of water into the gel slabs was discussed on the stress relaxation model of polymer chains. The results obtained are in good agreement with Schott's second-order diffusion kinetics. The biodegradability in vivo of their azobenzene cross-linking groups as well as the mechanism of degradation by cecal bacteria was studied. The gels are stable in the stomach but degradable by ananerobes present in the colon. The extent of degradation was considerably related to the equilibrium degree of swelling. The factors influencing the swelling degree were shown to influence the in vivo degradation of the gels. By changing these factors such as the degree of cross-linking, the length and content of the n-AMA side chains, it is possible to control both the degree of swelling and the degradation of the hydrogels.

Radiation induced synthesis and swelling characterization of thermo-responsive N-isopropylacrylamide-co-ionic hydrogels

Two-component thermo-responsive hydrogels poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium chloride (NIPA-co-VBT) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-p-sodium styrene sulphonate (NIPA-co-SSS) were prepared by using high energy gamma radiation. The gels were characterized by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and sol-gel analysis. The presence of ionic monomers in NIPA leads to lower gel content. Introduction of ionic components in the matrix enhanced swelling extent but caused slower volume transition. The swelling studies in alcohol indicated that swelling extent was function of polarity of the swelling medium and all gels followed the order water > methanol > ethanol > iso-propanol. In mixed co-solvents (water-alcohol), they exhibit complex reentrant behavior. The co-polymer gels containing VBT swelled faster and to higher extent than those containing SSS. The dynamic swelling studies indicated that diffusion of water in PNIPA gel shifts from Fickian for PNIPA to anomalous for NIPA-co-ionic gels also the mean swelling time (MST) decreases for gels containing ionic monomers.

Comparative Study on the Collapse Transition of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Gels and Magnetic Nanoparticles Loaded Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Gels

A novel polymer gel exhibiting simultaneous temperature and magnetic field sensitivity has been prepared and studied. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) and magnetic nanoparticles (magnetite, Fe₃O₄) loaded PNIPA gel beads with mm size and monolith gels with cm size were prepared. The dependence of swelling degree on the temperature has been studied. The effects of cross-linking density and the presence of magnetic nanoparticles on the equilibrium swelling degree as well as on the collapse transition have been investigated. Swelling kinetic measurements were also made. By comparing the equilibrium swelling properties of PNIPA and magnetite loaded PNIPA gels it was found that the built in magnetic nanoparticles do not modify the temperature sensitivity of these gels. Within the experimental accuracy the temperature of the collapse transition was not sensitive to the presence of magnetic particles. We have compared the swelling behaviour of mm size gel beads to the cm size monolith gels in order to study the influence of surface skin layer on the swelling equilibrium. It was established that the extent of surface skin formation was decreased by the presence of magnetic particles.     

Synthesis,swelling properties,and network structure of new stimuli‐responsive poly(N‐acryloyl‐N′‐ethyl piperazine‐co‐N‐isopropylacrylamide) hydrogels

Poly(N‐acryloyl‐N′‐ethyl piperazine‐co‐N‐isopropylacrylamide) hydrogels were prepared by thermal free‐radical copolymerization of N‐acryloyl‐N′‐ethyl piperazine (AcrNEP) and N‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) in solution using N, N′‐methylene bisacrylamide as the crosslinking agent. The gels were responsive to changes in external stimuli such as pH and temperature. The pH and temperature responsive character of the gels was greatly dependent on the monomer content, namely AcrNEP and NIPAM, respectively. The gels swelled in acidic (pH 2) and de‐swelled in basic (pH 10) solutions with a response time of 60 min. With increase in temperature from 23 to 80 °C the swelling of the gels decreased continuously and this effect was different in acidic and basic solutions. The temperature dependence of equilibrium water content of the gels was evaluated by the Gibbs–Helmholtz equation. Detailed analysis of the swelling properties of these new gels in relation to molecular heterogeneity in acidic (pH 2) and basic (pH 10) solutions were performed. Water transport property of the gels was studied gravimetrically. In acidic solution, the diffusion process was non‐Fickian (anomalous) while in basic solution, the diffusion was quasi‐Fickian. The effect was more evident in solution of pH 2 than in pH 10. Various structural parameters of the gels such as number‐average molar mass between crosslink (M_c), the crosslink density (ρ_c), and the mesh size (ξ) were evaluated. The mesh sizes of the hydrogels were between 64 and 783 Å in the swollen state in acidic solution and 20 and 195 Å in the collapsed state in basic solution. The mesh size increased between three to four times during the pH‐dependent swelling process. The amount of unbound water (free water) and bound water of the gels was also evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

高机械性能的聚(丙烯酸-co-甲基丙烯酸十八酯)疏水缔合凝胶的溶胀行为研究

以丙烯酸(AA)、甲基丙烯酸十八酯(OMA)、十二烷基硫酸钠(SDS)为原料,采用胶束共聚的方法合成了疏水缔合(HA)凝胶.在HA凝胶内部,表面活性剂SDS与疏水单体OMA组成的增溶胶束起到物理交联作用,将亲水的聚合物链交联起来.通过单向拉伸试验证实了该凝胶具有较高的机械性能.此外,也测试了HA凝胶在不同pH值溶液中的溶胀行为.结果显示,HA凝胶具有特殊的溶胀行为,其溶胀过程可以分为凝胶溶蚀、溶胀平衡和凝胶瓦解3个阶段.在强酸性条件下,凝胶的溶胀被抑制,没有出现凝胶瓦解阶段.在强碱性条件下,凝胶的溶胀被促进,溶胀平衡阶段被越过.盐的存在也会抑制HA凝胶的溶胀,但在SDS溶液中,溶液中的SDS会促使凝胶中的疏水改性聚合物溶解到溶液中去,组成新的缔合结构,而使溶液增稠。
