SWELLING BEHAVIOR OF MODIFIED CMC HYDROGEL PREPARED BY RADIATION CROSSLINKING

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is one of the most useful cellulose derivatives.However,it is difficult to obtain CMC with higher degree of substitution (DS),and CMC with lower DS often exhibits a poor solubility in water.In order to improve the degree of substitution of carboxymethyl cellulose,acrylic amide (AAm) was grafted onto cellulose,and the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose with AAm groups (AAm-CMC-Na) was synthesized.In the present work,a novel modified CMC hydrogel based on AAm-CMC-Na aqueous solution was obtained by using gamma irradiation under appropriate conditions.The swelling behavior,crosslinking kinetics of AAm-CMC-Na hydrogels and the effects of temperature,pH value and inorganic salt concentration on the swelling ratio of hydrogel were studied in detail.Experimental results showed that,when the concentration of AAm-CMC-Na aqueous solutions is above 12.5%,hydrogels could be prepared by gamma irradiation.However,comparing with radiation prepared CMC-Na hydrogels,the novel AAm-CMC-Na hydrogel could be produced at lower dose and lower concentration.Degradation is the predominant reaction in gamma irradiation for these two hydrogels.The swelling ratio of AAm-CMC-Na hydrogel in water was improved with the increase of temperature and had a maximum value in the range of pH=6～8,moreover,the swelling ratio decreased with the increasing of inorganic salt concentration and absorbed dose.The effect of CaCl 2 solution on swelling behavior of AAm-CMC-Na hydrogel was more remarkable than that of NaCl solution.The irradiation prepared AAm-CMC-Na hydrogels showed good sensibility to temperature and pH value,which implied this novel hydrogel is expected to be a water absorption material and water preserver.
