Novel Synthesis and Properties of Smart Core-Shell Microgels

A new method has been developed to prepare smart microgels that consist of well-defined temperature-sensitive cores with pH-sensitive shells. The microgels were obtained directly from aqueous graft copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide and N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide from water-soluble polymers containing amino groups such as poly(ethyleneimine) and chitosan. The gel diameters ranged from 300 to 400 nm with narrow size distribution. The unique core-shell nanostructures exhibited tuneable responses to pH and temperature.     

Preparation of filled temperature-sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) gel beads

Temperature-sensitive filled poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) gel beads with diameters in the range of millimeters were prepared using the alginate technique. The polymerization and cross-linking reaction of NIPAAm in the presence of inorganic filling particles was performed in spherical networks of Ca-alginate forming interpenetrating networks (IPN). Thermo-sensitive gel beads could be obtained by washing these IPN with EDTA solution. The PNIPAAm gel beads were analyzed by optical methods to observe there swollen diameter in dependence on the temperature. The diameters of the swollen gel beads were in the range of 0.1 - 2 mm. The influence of the monomer to cross-linker ratio (MCR) and the filling materials (ferrofluid, BaTiO₃, TiO₂, and Ni,) were studied. The phase transition temperature (T_pt) was only weakly influenced by the MCR and the filling material remaining at around 34°C.     

Concentration of Whey Proteins by Using Temperature-Sensitive Polymer Gel Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)

Summary: In this work, the use of a temperature-sensitive polymer gel, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), for the concentration of whey proteins was studied. The studied variables were: gel mass/solution volume ratio and concentration temperature. The concentration percentage and the selectivity were determined. The gel 20 × 5 (20% w/w total monomer/solution and 5% w/w crosslinking agent/total monomer), contacted with whey proteins solutions, at 5 °C and at 20 °C, was capable of concentrating the solution, in protein, from 10 to 33%, depending on the gel mass/solution volume ratio. The separation efficiencies, for the different studied systems, varied from around 40 to 80%. The results were discussed in the context of gels thermodynamics and through correlations between synthesis parameters and structure of the obtained gels. The obtained results for the concentration of whey proteins solutions, by using temperature-sensitive polymer gel, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), showed that the Gel Process can indeed be used as an advantageous alternative for such separation, either from an economic or from an environmental view point.     

Synthesis of temperature-sensitive submicron-size composite polymer particles

Temperature-sensitive composite polymer particles were prepared by seeded emulsion copolymerization of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate with 0.17 m-sized monodispersed polystyrene seed particles. The adsorption and desorption behaviors of low molecular weight cationic emulsifier as well as albumin were examined to determine the variation of surface properties as a function of temperature below and above 35°C.     

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide). II. Effect of polymer concentration,temperature, and surfactant on the viscosity of aqueous solutions

The effects of polymer concentration, temperature, and surfactant on the rheological properties of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), poly NIPAM, were studied. Below 28°C the viscosity decreased with increasing temperature according to the Arrhenius expression. However, at 29°C the viscosity increased to a maximum value at 32°C, the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) for aqueous polyNIPAM. Higher temperatures gave a much lower viscosity. This unusual rheological behavior was explained by the phase behavior of the polymer. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) binding to polyNIPAM increased the cloud point temperature (CPT) and attenuated the unusual rheological behavior of polyNIPAM in water. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Application of Polyelectrolytic Temperature-Responsive Hydrogels in Chemical Sensors

Summary: A rapidly expanding field of on-line process monitoring and on-line control in biotechnology, food industry, pharmaceutical industry, process chemistry, environmental measuring technology, water treatment and sewage processing requires the development of new micro fabricated reliable chemical and biosensors that are specific for particular species and can attain the analytic information in a faster, simpler and cheaper manner. Using a functionalised polymer coating in sensors provides the possibility to detect, transmit and record the information regarding the concentration change or the presence of a specific analyte (a chemical or biological substance that needs to be measured) by producing a signal proportional to the concentration of the target analyte. However, the sensor response time and signal reproducibility are limited by the visco-elastical and hysteresis behaviour of the polymer material. We propose some methods improving the properties of the chemical sensors on the basis of thermo-shrinking N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) copolymer gels.     

Temperature-sensitive poly(vinyl methyl ether) hydrogel beads

Temperature-sensitive hydrogel beads were prepared by radiation crosslinking of poly(vinyl methyl ether) PVME spheres wrapped in Ca-alginate. The obtained gel beads have diameters in the sub-millimeter or millimeter range (depending on the PVME concentration). They were characterized by sol-gel analysis, swelling measurements, and differential scanning calorimetry. The gel content g increases with increasing radiation dose D. The swelling degree Q_v decreases with increasing PVME concentration c_p and increasing D. In comparison to PVME bulkgels the phase-transition temperature of the synthesized PVME gel beads is a little decreased.
