AAEA的¹H NMR及FT-IR分析表明, 该单体主要以烯醇式结构存在; P(AAEA-co-AA)的FT-IR分析发现, PAAEA与PAA之间存在较强烈的氢键作用, 使得AAEA烯醇异构体中的C—O伸缩振动吸收峰移向了低波数处. 对冷冻干燥后凝胶的电镜分析发现, 当AAEA用量较高时, 由于凝胶内部分子链段的疏水聚集, 各部分溶胀度以及溶胀速度不均一而使得凝胶表面粗糙不平. 采用DSC对凝胶的体积相转变进行了研究, 结果表明, 该水凝胶的体积相转变温度(VPTT)在48.2至61.8 ℃之间, 并且随着AAEA用量的减小, 凝胶的VPTT逐渐增加. 对该新型温度敏感性水凝胶在去离子水中的溶胀动力学研究发现, 当AAEA用量高于4.6 g时, 凝胶属于Fick凝胶; 反之凝胶则属于非Fick凝胶. 该水凝胶在去离子水中具有良好的温度敏感性, 当外界温度低于VPTT时, 凝胶能保持溶胀状态; 而当外界温度高于VPTT时, 凝胶的平衡溶胀度迅速下降, 表现为温度敏感性. 进一步研究发现, 凝胶组成不仅会影响凝胶的VPTT, 而且会影响凝胶温度敏感性的强弱.

亲水/疏水半互穿网络凝胶对温度的响应

研究了一种亲水/疏水型半互穿网水凝胶（PAAc/QPVPD gels）对温度的刺激响应.在弱酸性或弱碱性（pH=7.5）溶液中,该凝胶的溶胀比在低温区（< 28 ℃）随温度的升高微微增大,约在28 ℃出现最大值,然后随温度升高而迅速减小,温度约为32.5 ℃时溶胀比趋于最低值.这主要是由于聚丙烯酸网络(PAAc)中氢键的解离与疏水改性聚电解质N-正十二烷基聚（4-乙烯吡啶）溴化盐(QPVPD)的疏水相互作用共同引起的.     

Thermosensitive superabsorbents based on poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide-co-sodium acrylate)

A series of poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide-co-sodium acrylate) with a degree of crosslinking of 1 mol%have been prepared as thermosensitive superabsorbents for water.The critical swelling temperatures or the volume phase transition temperature(VPTT) and the water absorption capacity of the polymers can be modulated by varying the amount of sodium acrylate(0-60 mol%) in the copolymers.The water absorption and swelling properties of the different hydrogels have been studied as function of temperature.The crosslinked copolymers can absorb large amounts of water at ambient temperatures and dehydrate at higher temperatures with relative ease,making the absorbent materials thermally responsive and thus reusable.The water absorption capacity of the copolymers depends on the pH of the media as the acrylate monomer has a higher water absorption in its deprotonated state.Added urea in the media raises and sharpens the VPTT values of the copolymers containing sodium acrylate.     

Thermoresponsive super water absorbent hydrogels prepared by frontal polymerization of N‐isopropyl acrylamide and 3‐sulfopropyl acrylate potassium salt

Super water absorbent polymer hydrogels were synthesized by frontal polymerization. These materials were obtained by copolymerizing N‐isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAAm) and 3‐sulfopropyl acrylate potassium salt (SPAK) in the presence of N,N′‐methylene‐bis‐acrylamide as a crosslinker. It was found that their swelling behavior in water can be easily tuned by using either the appropriate monomer ratio or the amount of the crosslinker used. Namely, the swelling ratio was found to range from about 1000% for the NIPAAm homopolymer in the presence of 5.0 mol % of crosslinker, up to 35,000% for the sample containing 87.5 mol % of SPAK and 1.0 mol % of crosslinker. The affinity toward water was also confirmed by contact angle analysis. Moreover, the obtained hydrogels exhibit a thermoresponsive behavior, with a lower critical solution temperature of about 28–30 °C. This value is close to that of poly(NIPAAm) but with a swelling capability that dramatically increases as the amount of SPAK increases. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and properties of diatomite composite superabsorbent

A novel diatomite composite superabsorbent was synthesized by solution polymerization of partially neutralized acrylic acid and diatomite, using N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide as a crosslinking agent and hydrogen peroxide and L -ascorbic acid as a redox initial system. The influences of some reaction conditions, such as diatomite content, neutralization degree of acrylic acid, amount of initiator, amount of crosslinking agent, monomer concentration, and the reaction temperature on swelling characteristic were investigated. The water absorbency of the sample prepared at optimum conditions was 99 g/g in 0.9 wt% NaCl solution. The results of swelling rate measurement showed that diatomite composite superabsorbent had better swelling rate than that of poly(sodium acrylate) prepared in the same conditions. Other properties, i.e. water retention, reswelling ability and resistance to salt, were also examined. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Cellulose Nano Whiskers (CNWs) Loaded-Poly(sodium acrylate) Hydrogels. Part-I. Effect of Low Concentration of CNWs on Water Uptake

In this work, de-watered cellulose pulp(DCP), obtained from a paper mill, have been acid-hydrolyzed to yield cellulose nano-whiskers (CNWs). As revealed from FESEM measurements, these CNW were found to possess a median length of 258.5 nm, diameter of 35.2 nm, and an aspect ratio of 7.3. The CNWs were also characterized by TGA, XRD and FTIR analysis. The CNWs were found to possess a fairly high Crystallinity Index (CI) of 0.925. The addition of cellulose at low concentration range, i.e., from 25 to 125 mg (nearly 1.25 to 6.25 weight percent of polymer sodium acrylate) caused an enhancement in water uptake of resulting hydrogels .The CNWs-loaded poly(SA) hydrogels showed chain relaxation controlled swelling in the medium of pH 7.4 as was confirmed from the swelling exponent ‘n’ values obtained using power function law‥ The second order kinetic model was found to fit well to the kinetic water uptake data. However, all the samples, when prepared in the form of films, did not show any remarkable increase in their mechanical strength.     

Behavior of Cross-Linked Copolymers of Acrylic Acid and 5-Vinyltetrazole in Aqueous Media

Superfast Responsive Ionic Hydrogels: Effect of the Monomer Concentration

A series of strong polyelectrolyte gels were prepared in aqueous solution, using the sodium salt of 2‐acrylamido‐2‐methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) as the monomer and N,N'‐methylene(bis)acrylamide (BAAm) as a crosslinker. The gels were both prepared below (?22°C) and above (25°C) the bulk freezing temperature of the water, producing cryogels and hydrogels, respectively. The crosslinker (BAAm) content was set at 17 mol%, while the initial monomer concentration C_o was varied over a wide range. It was found that, at ?22°C, a macroscopic network starts to form at an initial monomer concentration of as low as 0.1 w/v%. In contrast to the conventional hydrogels formed at 25°C, the cryogels have a discontinuous morphology consisting of polyhedral pores of sizes 10⁰–10² μm. The cryogels exhibit superfast swelling properties, as well as reversible swelling–deswelling cycles in water and acetone. An increase in the initial monomer concentration from 2.5 to 10% further increases the response rate of the cryogels due to the simultaneous increase of the porosity of the networks.

Preparation of hydrogel from green polymer

A new method was used for the production of hydrogels from green polymer with a higher swelling ratio. These hydrogels were synthesized first by graft copolymerization between acrylamide (AM) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with alkaline or kraft lignin (AM‐PVA‐g‐lignin) and then by mixing with acrylamide monomer. The kraft and alkaline lignins were isolated from pulping liquor and characterized using UV and FT‐IR spectroscopy, and the formed hydrogels were characterized using FT‐IR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Compared with kraft lignin hydrogel, the alkaline lignin hydrogel had very high swelling ratios and slower water uptake and deswelling rates attributed to its compatible network structure. The hydrogels formed were used also to study the influence of sodium chloride on the absorption capacity at room temperature and swelling ratios at different temperatures.

Modeling of Swelling Behaviors of Acrylamide-Based Polymeric Hydrogels by Intelligent System

Hydrogels based on acrylamide (AAm) were synthesized by free radical polymerization in an aqueous solution using N,N’-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAAm) as crosslinker. To obtain anionic hydrogels, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid sodium salt (AMPS) and acrylic acid (AAc) were used as comonomers. The swelling behaviors of all hydrogel systems were modeled using an artificial neural network (ANN) and compared with a multivariable least squares regression (MLSR) model and phenomenal model. The predictions from the ANN model, which associated input parameters, including the amounts of crosslinker (MBA) and comonomer, and swelling values with time, produce results that show excellent correlation with experimental data. The parameters of swelling kinetics and water diffusion mechanisms of the hydrogels were calculated using the obtained experimental data. Model analysis indicated that the ANN models could accurately describe complex swelling behaviors of highly swellable hydrogels.
