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。     

表面活性剂对疏水缔合水凝胶性能的影响

通过丙烯酰胺(AM)和丙烯酰胺基十八羧酸钠(NaAAS)共聚合,在没有任何外加化学交联剂的情况下,分别在水溶液和十二烷基硫酸钠(SDS)溶液中通过自由基聚合制备了疏水缔合水凝胶,命名为HA凝胶和SHA凝胶.系统研究HA凝胶和SHA凝胶的机械拉伸性能发现,调节AM和NaAAS的含量,可以使SHA凝胶具有相较不含SDS的HA凝胶更好的力学拉伸性能.HA凝胶在水中不溶解且在纯化和溶胀过程中几乎没有损失,而SHA凝胶体系中的SDS可以扩散出凝胶网络溶解到水中,使得SHA凝胶表现出更加明显的溶胀-去溶胀-平衡溶胀行为;在盐水中由于疏水缔合得到加强,HA凝胶和SHA凝胶都表现出化学凝胶的溶胀特点.在常温下HA凝胶不能实现自愈合,而SHA凝胶具有较好的自愈合能力,并且自愈合效果可以通过SHA凝胶中SDS和聚合物固含量调节.

溶剂改性疏水pH-敏感凝胶的溶胀行为

在甲苯存在下，以甲基丙烯酸二乙氨基乙酯、苯乙烯和二乙烯苯为单体，通过悬浮聚合方法合成了不同交联度的疏水阳离子凝胶，研究了这些凝胶的pH－敏感溶胀行为。发现以良溶剂甲苯改性的凝胶不仅溶胀度增加，而且溶胀性质对交联度改变出现特异的依赖关系。当凝胶的交联度高于20％时，平衡溶胀度和溶胀速度随交联度的提高不是降低，而是提高。同时发现，随交联度提高，改性凝胶的溶胀逐渐具有零级动力学特性。这对设计由溶胀控制的，具有零级动力学释药特性的控释体系是十分有意义的。

Mechanical Properties and Network Structure of Hydrophobic Association Hydrogels Prepared from Octylphenol Polyoxyethylene(7) Acrylate and Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate

Hydrophobic association hydrogels(HA-gels) with high mechanical strength were prepared by free radical micellar copolymerization in aqueous solutions of acrylamide(AM), anion surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS) and a small amount of hydrophobic monomer octylphenol polyoxyethylene(7) acrylate(OP-7-AC). We found that the molar ratio of SDS to OP-7-AC has a great effect on the tensile strength and other mechanical property parameters. The best ratio point R' was determined. On the basis of Mooney theory and statistical theory, the critical tensile ratios and critical tensile strengths of the hydrogels were obtained, elastic parameters C₁ and C₂ were calculated via uniaxial tensile equation and structural parameters, such as the effective network chain density and the averaged molecular weight of the chain between cross-linking points of all the hydrogels were evaluated. The results indicate that the variation of mechanical property parameters depends on the number of effective cross-linking points and the match degree of long and short chains.

Swelling Resistance and Mechanical Performance of Physical Crosslink‐Based Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Hydrogel Film with Various Molecular Weight

The present work aimed to develop polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel films with physically crosslinking through controllable entanglement density of the polymer chains. The viscoelasticity of PVA aqueous solutions was investigated over a broad range in molecular weight. The chain length between the crosslinks in the hydrogel ( $\overline{M_e}$) and entanglement density was determined by the plateau modulus (G'). The value of ( $\overline{M_e}$) increased with the PVA molecular weight, which can be attributed to the enhanced entanglement associated with the hydrogen bonds between inter‐ and interchains. The melting and crystallization of the transparent PVA hydrogel films showed that the crystallinity was below 30%, which indicated that microcrystallites formed. Therefore, the entanglement effect and microcrystallization enhanced the stable crosslinked hydrogel network, which further improved by an increase in the molecular weight. Altogether, the PVA with the molecular weight higher than 88,000 g/mol can be envisioned as a promising material for preparing the hydrogel film possessing excellent performance. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Tensile Mechanical Properties of Hydrophobic Association Hydrogels: Effect of Crosslinking Method,Synthesis Temperature,Mineral Salt and Swelling

Hydrophobic association hydrogels (HA-gels) were prepared through micellar copolymerization of acrylamide (AM) and a small amount of octylphenol polyoxyethylene acrylate (OP-10-AC) in an aqueous solution containing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). For the P(AM/OP-10-AC) HA-gels, the effect of crosslinking method, synthesis temperature, mineral salt (NaCl) and swelling on their tensile mechanical properties was investigated in detail. The experimental results show that crosslinking method, synthesis temperature, NaCl and swelling powerfully influenced tensile mechanical properties of the P(AM/OP-10-AC) HA-gels. In addition, according to the tensile experimental results of the P(AM/OP-10-AC) HA-gels swollen, an effective crosslinking density change model is proposed. The effect of swelling on tensile mechanical properties of the P(AM/OP-10-AC) HA-gels was discussed on the basis of the model.     

Crystallization Behavior and Mechanical Properties of Poly(vinylidene fluoride)/multi-walled Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites

Poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)/multi-walled carbon nanotube(MWCNT) nanocomposites were prepared by means of ultrasonic dispersion method. X-ray diffraction(XRD) results indicate that incorporating MWCNTs into PVDF caused the formation of β phase. A thermal annealing at 130 °C confirmed that the β phase was stable in the nanocomposites. Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) results indicate that the melting temperature slightly increased while the heat of fusion markedly decreased with increasing MWCNT content. The tensile strength and modulus of PVDF were improved by loading the MWCNTs. The scanning electron microscopy(SEM) observations showed that MWCNTs were uniformly dispersed in the PVDF matrix and an interfacial adhesion between MWCNT and PVDF was achieved, which was responsible for the enhancement in the tensile strength and modulus of PVDF.
