Swelling studies of copolymeric acrylamide/crotonic acid hydrogels as carriers for agricultural uses

In this study, highly swollen acrylamide/crotonic acid hydrogels (in a rod form) containing some inorganic salts such as ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate and ammonium sulphate used as fertilizer, an agricultural drug such as Dalapon (sodium 2,2‐dichloropropionate) and two crosslinkers such as ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and 1,4‐butandiol dimethacrylate were prepared by copolymerization of acrylamide and crotonic acid with γ‐radiation. As a result of swelling tests, the influence of γ‐ray dose and relative content of crotonic acid on the swelling properties, the diffusional behavior of water, diffusion coefficients and network properties of the hydrogel systems were examined. Acrylamide/crotonic acid hydrogels containing these salts and agricultural drug were swollen in the range 2045–400% in water, while polyacrylamide hydrogels swelled in the range 660–700%. Water intake of hydrogels followed a nonFickian‐type diffusion. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Cationic dye adsorption by acrylamide/itaconic acid hydrogels in aqueous solutions

Acrylamide/itaconic acid (AAm/IA) hydrogels containing different quantities of itaconic acid have been irradiated with γ radiation. The hydrogels were used in an experiment concerning the adsorption of cationic dyes such as Basic Blue 9, Basic Violet 1 and Basic Blue 12. In the experiments of the adsorption of dyes from their synthetic aqueous solutions, type S adsorption isotherms were found. One mole of monomeric unit of AAm/IA hydrogels adsorbed 78.5–513.1 μmole of Basic Blue 9, 60.2–641.1 μmole of Basic Violet 1 and, 28.8–593.3 μmole of Basic Blue 12, while acrylamide hydrogel did not adsorb any cationic dye. As a result, it was shown that the AAm/IA hydrogels could be used as an adsorbent for water pollutants such as dyes, and immobilization of these organic contaminants in the hydrogels from waste water can solve one of the most important environmental problems of the textile industry. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Synthesis,characterization, and optimum reaction conditions of oligo‐2‐[(pyridine‐2‐yl‐methylene) amino] phenol

The reaction conditions of the oxidative polycondensation of 2‐[(pyridine‐2‐yl‐methylene) amino] phenol (2‐PMAP) with air O₂, H₂O₂, and NaOCl were studied in an aqueous alkaline medium between 60 and 90 °C. Oligo‐2‐[(pyridine‐2‐yl‐methylene) amino] phenol (O‐2‐PMAP) was characterized with ¹H NMR, Fourier transform infrared, ultraviolet–visible, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and elemental analysis techniques. Moreover, solubility testing of the oligomer was performed in polar and nonpolar organic solvents. With the NaOCl, H₂O₂, and air O₂ oxidants, the conversions of 2‐PMAP into O‐2‐PMAP were 98, 87, and 62%, respectively, in an aqueous alkaline medium. According to SEC, the number‐average molecular weight, weight‐average molecular weight, and polydispersity index of O‐2‐PMAP were 2262 g mol^?1, 2809 g mol^?1, and 1.24 with NaOCl, 3045 g mol^?1, 3861 g mol^?1, and 1.27 with air O₂, and 1427 g mol^?1, 1648 g mol^?1, and 1.16 with air H₂O₂, respectively. Also, thermogravimetric analysis showed that O‐2‐PMAP was stable against thermooxidative decomposition. The weight loss of O‐2‐PMAP was 96.68% at 900 °C. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Swelling characterization of novel ternary semi‐IPNs: acrylamide/1‐vinylimidazole/PEG hydrogels

New ternary semi interpenetrating polymer networks (semi‐IPNs) systems containing acrylamide (AAm), 1‐vinylimidazole (VI) and poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) have been prepared. AAm/VI hydrogels and semi‐IPN's, poly (AAm/VI/PEG) with 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 g of PEG (per 1.00 g AAm) were prepared by free radical solution polymerization in aqueous solution of AAm with VI as comonomer and a multifunctional crosslinker such as 1,4 butanediol dimethacrylate (BDMA). Swelling experiments were performed in water at 25°C, gravimetrically. The influence of VI and PEG content in hydrogels were examined. AAm/VI and AAm/VI/PEG hydrogels showed large extents of swelling in aqueous media, the swelling being highly dependent on the chemical composition of the hydrogels. Percentage swelling ratio of AAm/VI hydrogels and AAm/VI/PEG hydrogels was shown as 650–4167%. The values of equilibrium water content (EWC) of the hydrogels are between 0.8990 and 0.9750. Diffusion behavior was investigated. Water diffusion into hydrogels was found to be non‐Fickian in character. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Water uptake and dye sorption studies of chemically crosslinked highly swollen novel ternary acrylamide‐based hydrogels including citraconic acid and sodium acrylate

Highly swollen hydrogels made by the polymerization of acrylamide (AAm) with some anionic monomers such as citraconic acid (CITA) and sodium acrylate (SA) were investigated as a function of composition to find materials with swelling and dye sorption properties. Highly swollen AAm/CITA/SA or AAm/SA/CITA hydrogels were prepared by free radical solution polymerization in aqueous solutions of AAm with CITA and SA as co‐monomers and two multifunctional crosslinkers such as ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and 1,4‐butanediol dimethacrylate (BDMA). Swelling experiments were performed in water at 25°C, gravimetrically. Chemically crosslinked AAm/CITA/SA or AAm/SA/CITA hydrogels were used in experiments on sorption of water‐soluble monovalent cationic dye such as “Nil blue” (Basic Blue 12; BB 12). Equilibrium percentage swelling values of AAm/CITA/SA or AAm/SA/CITA hydrogels were calculated in the range of 1797–22,098%. Some swelling kinetic parameters were found. Diffusion behavior of water was investigated. Water diffusion into the hydrogels was found to be non‐Fickian in character. For sorption of cationic dye, BB 12 into the hydrogels was studied by batch sorption technique at 25°C. AAm/CITA/SA or AAm/SA/CITA hydrogels in the dye solutions showed coloration, whereas AAm hydrogel did not show sorption of any dye from the solution. The sorption capacity of AAm/CITA/SA or AAm/SA/CITA hydrogels was investigated. At the end of the experiments, 21.70–78.91% BB 12 adsorptions were determined.
