Preparation and characterization of sodium carboxymethylcellulose/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)/clay semi-IPN nanocomposite hydrogels

A new kind of pH-/temperature-responsive semi-interpenetrating polymer network hydrogels based on linear sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) cross-linked by inorganic clay (CMC/PNIPA/Clay hydrogel) was prepared. The temperature- and pH-responsive behaviors, the mechanical properties of these hydrogels were investigated. The CMC/PNIPA/Clay hydrogels exhibited a volume phase transition temperature around 32 °C with no significant deviation from the conventional PNIPA hydrogels. The swelling ratio of the CMC/PNIPA/Clay hydrogels gradually decreased with increasing the contents of clay. The influence of pH value on swelling behaviors showed that there is a maximum swelling ratio at pH 5.9. Moreover, the CMC/PNIPA/Clay hydrogels exhibited excellent mechanical properties with high tensile stress and elongation at break in excess of 1200%.     

Synthesis and characterization of physically crosslinked N‐vinylcaprolactam,acrylic acid,methacrylic acid,and N,N‐dimethylacrylamide hydrogels

Physically crosslinked hydrogels based on N‐vinylcaprolactam/acrylic acid and N‐vinylcaprolactam/methacrylic acid were prepared via free radical polymerization. These temperature responsive hydrogels were characterized in terms of glass transition, phase separation temperature, potentiometric titration and swelling properties. Results showed that phase transition temperature was dependent on the pH value of the solution; increasing pH led to higher lower critical solution temperature (LCST) values which was related to the dissociative behaviors of the carboxylic group of MAc in the buffered solutions. Additionally, with the incorporation of N,N‐dimethylacrylamide into the system, cloud point measurements and MDSC showed an increased in the LCST. This increase was based on hydrophilicity, the hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance was disturbed, and consequently, the LCST behavior was shifted. The pKa of the copolymers ranged between 5.6 and 6.5, while for the terpolymers pKa ranged between 5.3 and 6. At high pH (>10), the ? COOH group is deprotonated and negatively charged (? COO^?), while at low pH (1–3) the carboxylic group remains protonated which results in hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl groups (from NaOH) and the excess of HCl. These results correlate with swelling studies where above the pKa value the hydrogels dissolved rapidly compared to below pKa they did not dissolve at all. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Preparation and characterization of pH- and temperature-responsive semi-IPN hydrogels of carboxymethyl chitosan with poly (<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-isopropyl acrylamide) crosslinked by clay

A new kind of pH- and temperature-responsive semi-interpenetrating polymer network hydrogel based on linear carboxymethylchitosan (CMCS) and poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) crosslinked by inorganic clay was prepared. The pH-and temperature-responsive behaviors, the deswelling kinetics, and the mechanical properties of the hydrogel were investigated. The hydrogels exhibited a volume phase transition temperature around 33 °C with no significant deviation from the conventional PNIPA hydrogels. The results of the influence of pH value on the swelling behaviors showed that the minimum swelling ratios of the hydrogels appeared near the isoelectric point (IEP) of CMCS, and when pH deviated from the IEP, the hydrogels behaved as polycations or polyanions. The novel hydrogels had much higher response rate than the conventional CMCS/PNIPA hydrogels. Moreover, the semi-IPN hydrogels crosslinked by clay could be elongated to more than 800% and the elongation could be recovered almost completely and instantaneously.     

Relationship between the volume phase transition and the surface area of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) and poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-co-sodium methacrylate) hydrogels

The volume phase transition of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-sodium methacrylate) (P(NIPAAm-co-SMA)) hydrogels was investigated with consideration of the pore characteristics. The volume phase transition temperature of the hydrogel increased by incorporating sodium methacrylate (SMA). Based on the BET equation, the surface area was evaluated by a gas adsorption method. The surface area of PNIPAAm and P(NIPAAm-co-SMA) hydrogels decreased with increasing temperature, resulting from the fact that the depth and the size of pores decreased significantly in the course of the volume phase transition. Hence, it is suggested that the change of surface area has a close relationship with the volume phase transition of PNIPAAm and P(NIPAAm-co-SMA) hydrogels.     

One-step synthesis of self-healable hydrogels by the spontaneous phase separation of linear multi-block copolymers during the emulsion copolymerization

Self-healable polyacrylamide-based hydrogels were prepared at room temperature via a one-step emulsion copolymerization of acrylamide(AM),dodecyl 2-methacryIate(DM),and 5-acetylaminopentyl acrylate(AAPA) using sodium dodecyl sulfonate(SDS) as the emulsifier and ammonium persulfate(APS)as the initiator.The produced linear multi-block copolymer chains are composed of randomly-linked hydrophilic polyacrylamide segments(PAM) and hydrophobic segments constituted by DM and AAPA units(P(DM-co-AAPA)).The P(DM-co-AAPA) segments will self-aggregate into hydrophobic microdomains during the polymerization process driven by the hydrophobic interactions,and finally separate from water phase,acting as the crosslinks and leading to the formation of strong hydrogels with a storage modulus as high as 400 Pa.These hydrophobic microdomains will be dissolved in water when the temperature increases to 70℃,resulting in a temperature-responsive reversible sol-gel transition of the prepared hydrogels.Furthermore,the prepared hydrogels have excellent self-healing ability.The broken hydrogels can be automatically healed into a body with a same strength within 2-min's contact.This work provides a new simple way to prepare reversible physical crosslinked hydrogel with high strength and self-healing efficiency.     

聚(4-乙酰基丙烯酰乙酸乙酯-co-丙烯酸)水凝胶的溶胀动力学以及温度敏感性研究

通过分子结构设计, 合成了疏水性单体4-乙酰基丙烯酰乙酸乙酯(AAEA), 并以该单体与丙烯酸(AA)进行自由基溶液共聚, 制备了P(AAEA-co-AA)新型温度敏感性水凝胶. 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.     

Thermo‐ and pH‐induced phase transitions and network parameters of poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide‐ co‐2‐acrylamido‐2‐methyl‐propanosulfonic acid) hydrogels

Dual temperature‐ and pH‐sensitive hydrogels composed of N‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and 2‐acrylamido‐2‐methyl‐propanosulfonic acid (AMPS) were prepared by free‐radical crosslinking copolymerization in aqueous solution at 22 °C. The mole percent of AMPS in the comonomer feed was varied between 0.0 and 7.5, while the crosslinker ratio was fixed at 5.0/100. The effect of AMPS content on thermo‐ and pH‐ induced phase transitions as well as equilibrium swelling/deswelling, interior morphology and network structure was investigated. The volume phase transition temperature (VPT‐T) was determined by both swelling/deswelling measurements and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique. In addition, the volume phase transition pH (VPT‐pH) was detected from the derivative of the curves of the swelling ratio (dQ_v/dpH) versus pH. The polymer‐solvent interaction parameter (χ) and the average molecular mass between crosslinks ( ) of hydrogels were calculated from swelling ratios in buffer solutions at various pHs. The enthalpy (ΔH) and entropy (ΔS) changes appearing in the χ parameter of hydrogels were also determined by using the modified Flory–Rehner equation. The negative values for ΔH and ΔS indicated that the hydrogels had a negative temperature‐sensitive property in water, that is, swelling at a lower temperature and shrinking at a higher temperature. It was observed that the experimental swelling data of hydrogels at different temperature agreed with the modified Flory‐Rehner approach based on the affine network model. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermodynamics of Swelling of Poly(NIPAM-co-NTBA-co-HEAAm) Hydrogels

In the present study, poly(N-Isopropylacrylacrylamide-co-N-tertiarybutylacrylamide-co-hydroxyethylcrylamide) (NIPAM-co-NTBA-co-HEAAm) hydrogels are prepared with variation of molar ratio of hydrophilic HEAAm and hydrophobic NTBA. The prepared hydrogels are characterized with elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The thermodynamics of swelling properties of poly(NIPAM-co-NTBA-co-HEAAm) hydrogels have also been discussed. The experimental C/N ratios are comparable with the theoretical value. The enthalpy change of mixing ∆H_mix, entropy change of mixing ∆S_mix, free energy change of mixing ∆G_mix are determined for swelling of hydrogels at 25 °C. The value of total free energy of hydrogel swelling is found to be negative which confirms the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) exhibited in all hydrogels and the volume change transition shows the thermoresponsive behavior. The values of ∆S_mix increase and ∆G_mix decrease with increasing amount of hydrophobic NTBA content in the hydrogels. The values of free energy change of elasticity (∆G_el) are found to be increased with increasing the hydrophobic NTBA content followed by decrease in swelling percentage. Also, the transition temperature of the hydrogel is found to be decreased with increasing the hydrophobic NTBA.
