Swelling properties of aspartic acid-based hydrogels

Chemically crosslinked poly(aspartic acid) (PASP) gels were prepared by the hydrolysis of polysuccinimide (PSI). This latter was prepared by thermal polycondensation of aspartic acid. The PSI chains were crosslinked by 1,4-diaminobutane. The consecutive reactions of hydrolysis and swelling kinetics of PSI- and PASP-based gels were studied at different pH values. Two distinct swelling mechanisms were proposed. The cooperative diffusion coefficient has been found to be three orders of magnitude higher in pH 14 solution than at pH 8.     

Synthesis of cellulose derivative based superabsorbent hydrogels by radiation induced crosslinking

Hydrogels with high water uptake were prepared by ionizing radiation induced crosslinking in aqueous solutions of four cellulose derivatives (carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt—CMC-Na, methylcellulose—MC, hydroxyethylcellulose—HEC and hydroxypropylcellulose—HPC). The gel fraction increased with absorbed dose, while water uptake decreased. At high polymer concentrations lower gel fractions were found due to the lower polymer chain mobility and inhomogeneity at low water content. The swelling rate gradually slowed down after 4–5 h. CMC and HEC gels reached equilibrium after 24 h, while HPC and MC gels required longer immersion times. Gels showed second-order swelling kinetics in water. The mechanism of the water diffusion proved to be anomalous. In pure water, CMC gels showed the highest, while HPC and MC gels the lowest water uptake. The derivatives had different sensitivities to ionic strength in the swelling solution. The salt type also proved to be a significant factor at uniform ionic strength. Thus different cellulose derivative based gels may be preferred at various applications depending on the environment.     

聚乙烯醇硫酸钾水凝胶电机械化学行为研究

通过将交联聚乙烯醇硫酸酯化的方法制备了一种新型电刺激响应性聚乙烯醇硫酸钾(PVSK)智能水凝胶,并探讨了溶液离子强度和pH对PVSK水凝胶的溶胀吸水率、机械性能以及电机械化学行为的影响.结果表明,制备的PVSK水凝胶的平衡溶胀比随NaCl溶液离子强度的增大而减小,在pH2.39～10.83范围内基本不受溶液pH的影响;经不同离子强度和pH的NaCl溶液充分溶胀的PVSK水凝胶具有良好的机械性能,在非接触的直流电场作用下,该水凝胶向电场负极弯曲,凝胶的弯曲速度和弯曲偏转量随外加电场强度的增加而增大,随NaCl溶液离子强度的增大出现临界最大值,但不随溶液pH(2.08～10.53)的改变而改变;在循环电场作用下,PVSK水凝胶的电机械化学行为具有良好的可逆性.     

离子键交联的聚两性电解质凝胶在不同pH和不同电解质溶液中溶胀行为研究

以丙烯酸(AA)和甲基丙烯酸二乙氨基乙酯(DEAM)形成的离子复合物与丙烯酰胺(AAm)共聚,合成了一种新型的离子键交联的聚两性电解质凝胶(PADA).由于分子之间的氢键作用,PADA凝胶并不是在A/C(负正离子单体摩尔比)为1,而是在A/C为1.55处有最大消溶胀.与共价键交联的聚两性电解质凝胶相比,PADA凝胶的溶胀行为具有更强的pH敏感性.PADA凝胶在不同pH缓冲溶液中的溶胀行为表明,在pH 3~4之间消溶胀程度最大.在偏离该pH区域时凝胶均发生溶胀.但凝胶的溶胀程度在pH<3的酸性溶液中随A/C的增加而降低;而在pH>4的偏碱性溶液中随其增加而增加.在不同价数的离子溶液中,离子浓度对于PADA凝胶的平衡溶胀有着不同的影响.对于一价的NaCl溶液,PADA凝胶有典型的反聚电解质效应.但对于高价的CaCl2和柠檬酸三钠溶液,只在较低的浓度下,才表现出反聚电解质效应.而在较高盐浓度时,随盐浓度的增加其溶胀比反而降低.这可能与高价离子形成的离子键交联有关.与pH对PADA凝胶溶胀程度的影响相似,在CaCl2溶液中,PADA凝胶的溶胀程度随A/C的增加而降低;而在柠檬酸三钠溶液中则刚好相反.这种独特的溶胀行为似乎与高价离子电荷的正负性有关.     

The effective charge number and diffusion coefficient of cationic cytochrome c in aqueous solution.

The diffusion coefficient and the effective charge number of cytochrome c as a function of ionic strength, temperature and pH have been measured. The measurements were carried out using a method based on a convective diffusion process across a porous membrane. The effect of ionic strength was studied in an NaCl solution the concentration of which varied from 0.001 to 1.0 M. The temperature range studied was 10-50 degrees C, and the pH values studied were 4.0, 6.5 and 8.25. The diffusion coefficient is fairly constant as a function of ionic strength and pH, and Walden's rule is valid in the temperature range studied. The effective charge number is practically constant (ca. 2) in the concentration range studied, except in 0.001 M solution, where it is the same as the titrated value. The charge number decreases slightly in the temperature range 10-30 degrees C, but seems to drop suddenly to zero at ca. 40 degrees C. Measurements using heavy water (D2O) as a solvent instead of water did not give zero charge at 40 degrees C for cytochrome c.     

Novel sulfobetaine‐sulfonic acid‐contained superswelling hydrogels

Novel hydrogels based on zwitterionic monomer [3‐(methacrylamido)propyl] dimethyl (3‐sulfopropyl) ammonium hydroxide (MPDSAH) and a strong acid monomer (2‐acrylamido‐2‐methylpropane sulfonic acid, AMPS) were synthesized through solution polymerization under normal conditions to achieve nearly quantitative gel yield. The structure of the gels was confirmed using infrared spectroscopy. Thermal properties were simultaneously studied by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis (DSC/TGA). The effects of the polymerization variables on the swelling capacity of the products were investigated. It was found that, in a certain range of the monomers mol ratio, increase of AMPS content was surprisingly accompanied with swelling reduction. The swelling exhibited lower sensitivity to the crosslinker concentration (range 0.6–1.2 wt%) compared with the conventional superabsorbents. However, in contrast with the conventional acrylic acid‐based superabsorbents, the neutralization degree of AMPS part of the new gels had only a small enhancing effect on their swelling capacity. The effect of total monomer concentration on the hydrogel absorbency was also studied. The fully ionic hydrogels showed an unusual pH‐independency behavior, so that their absorbency was nearly unchanged in a wide range of pH. Such unexpected behavior was also observed for the swelling in the ionic environments with various ionic strengths. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Swelling of poly(methacrylic acid) gels and adsorption of L-lysine and its polymer on the gels

Poly (methacrylic acid) gels (PMAA gels) of various degrees of crosslinking were prepared and the dissociation behavior of these gels was examined; the swelling behavior was investigated as a function of the solution pH values. A reentrant phenomenon of swelling was observed and interpreted based on the Flory-Huggins equation and the Donnan equilibrium formula. Moreover, adsorption of L-lysine, oligo(L-lysine)s (Lys-n,n=3, 9, and 19) and poly(L-lysine) onto PMAA gels from aqueous solutions was investigated under different conditions of pH and concentration of adsorbate. The adsorption ratio of L-lysine onto PMAA gel is dependent on both the pH of solution and the degree of crosslinking. In a pH range between 8 and 9, the protonated form of L-lysine is strongly adsorbed on the PMAA gel by electrostatic interactions. Oligomers and polymer of L-lysine are adsorbed in a somewhat different way from the monomeric L-lysine. In addition, the desorption behavior of L-lysine from PMAA gels by a change in pH was also investigated.

External Stimuli Responsive Characteristics of Epoxy‐Polyamide/Starch Blend Films

Abstract

Polymeric films of varying crosslink densities and of different molar‐concentrations were prepared from the epoxidized oil/diglycedyl ether of bis‐phenol A (DGEBA) epoxy/polyamide/starch by blending at ambient temperature. The influences of external stimuli such as pH, temperature, ionic strength of the swelling media, and the type of buffer on the equilibrium swelling properties were investigated. Polymeric films showed a typical pH and temperature response such as low‐pH and low‐temperature have maximum swelling while a high‐pH and high‐temperature show almost complete deswelling. A change in the ionic strength of the swelling solution from 0.01 to 0.2 M caused a decrease in the equilibrium degree of swelling of polymeric films. Oscillatory swelling was also observed and investigated in response to changes in the pH of the solution. The morphology of selected polymeric films were explained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and correlated with mechanical strength.     

Prediction of collective diffusion coefficient of bovine serum albumin in aqueous electrolyte solution with hard-core two-Yukawa potential

A new method to predict concentration dependence of collective diffusion coefficient of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous electrolyte solution is developed based on the generalized Stokes-Einstein equation which relates the diffusion coefficient to the osmotic pressure. The concentration dependence of osmotic pressure is evaluated using the solution of the mean spherical approximation for the two-Yukawa model fluid. The two empirical correlations of sedimentation coefficient are tested in this work. One is for a disordered suspension of hard spheres, and another is for an ordered suspension of hard spheres. The concentration dependence of the collective diffusion coefficient of BSA under different solution conditions, such as pH and ionic strength is predicted. From the comparison between the predicted and experimental values we found that the sedimentation coefficient for the disordered suspension of hard spheres is more suitable for the prediction of the collective diffusion coefficients of charged BSA in aqueous electrolyte solution. The theoretical predictions from the hard-core two-Yukawa model coupled with the sedimentation coefficient for a suspension of hard spheres are in good agreement with available experimental data, while the hard sphere model is unable to describe the behavior of diffusion due to its neglect of the double-layer repulsive charge-charge interaction between BSA molecules.     

A new specific metal ion chelated‐poly(N‐vinylimidazole) gel sorbents for albumin adsorption‐desorption

Poly(N‐vinylimidazole) (PVIm) hydrogels were prepared by γ‐irradiating binary mixtures of N‐vinylimidazole‐water in a ⁶⁰Co‐γ source having 4.5 kGy/h dose rate. These affinity gels having different swelling ratio of Cu(II)‐chelated, Co(II)‐chelated and plain PVIm in acetate buffer were used in the albumin adsorption studies. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption on these gels from aqueous solutions containing different amounts of BSA at different pH adjusted with acetate and phosphate buffer was investigated in batch reactors. The adsorption capacities of BSA on/in the gels were decreased dramatically by increasing the ionic strength (I) adjusting with NaCl. BSA adsorption capacities of the metal ion‐chelated gels were higher than the plain PVIm gel even if the swelling ratio of the metal ion‐chelated gels was very low comparing to the PVIm gel. The rigidity of the metal ion‐chelated gel is very high and it can be used for the column applications. More than 95% of BSA were desorbed in 3 h in the desorption medium containing KSCN for PVIm gel and EDTA for metal ion‐chelated gels. These results indicate that PVIm and metal ion‐chelated PVIm gels are very efficient to remove BSA and the different metal ion‐chelated PVIm gels show different affinity for BSA or biomolecules.

Dynamic light scattering studies of ionic and nonionic polymer gels with continuous and discontinuous volume transitions

We have performed dynamic light scattering experiments on poly(acrylamide)‐poly(acrylic acid) copolymer gels with controlled crosslink density and copolymer composition, by varying the temperature, amount and valency of added salt, pH, and solvent quality. Our systematic study provides several insights. The correlation length for the monomer density fluctuations, as inferred from the measured diffusion coefficient, is too small to be identified as the mesh size of the gel. The correlation length in an ionic gel, which is found to be smaller than that for an equivalent gel without ionization. Comparison of swelling ratio with the diffusion coefficient shows that these quantities are not simply geometrically related to each other. When a discontinuous volume phase transition is induced by gradually varying the solvent quality, the diffusion coefficient exhibits a pretransitional reduction by two orders of magnitude even before the gel collapse. These findings provoke a need for new theoretical approaches for describing the elastic modes of polyelectrolyte gels. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys, 2010     

Synthesis and characterization of thermoresponsive poly(<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-isopropylacrylamide-co-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-hydroxymethylacrylamide-co-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogels

Thermoresponsive hydrogels based on N-isopropylacrylamide, N-hydroxymethylacrylamide, and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, poly(NIPAM–co-NHMAAm–co-HEMA), have been synthesized and their swelling—deswelling behavior studied as a function of NIPAM concentration, NIPAM/NHMAAm and NIPAM/HEMA mole ratio, and total monomer concentration. Copolymers varying in composition have been obtained by redox copolymerization of these three monomers. Temperature has been changed in the ranges from 4 to 70 °C at fixed pH and total ionic strength. Equilibrium swelling ratio, dynamic swelling ratio, and dynamic deswelling ratio were evaluated for all hydrogel systems. The equilibrium swelling ratios of the copolymeric gels decrease with increasing NHMAAm and HEMA content. The formation of the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between hydroxyl and amido groups decreases the hydrophilic group numbers of the gel and the affinity of the gel towards water decreases. The copolymer gels also showed rapid volume transitions with time. The time required for equilibrium shrinking increased with increasing NHMAAm and HEMA content in the gel.     

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

Relation between the gel structure and the mobility of tracers in globular protein gels

Diffusion of fluorescent-labeled dextran with different molecular weights was investigated in β-lactoglobulin (β-lg) solutions and gels over a wide range of salt and protein concentrations at pH 7 by combining confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) with fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP). Effects of the protein concentration, the salt concentration and the tracer size were investigated in detail. Diffusion in turbid heterogeneous gels formed at 0.2 M NaCl depended weakly on the probe size and the protein concentration and remained close to that in unheated solutions. A strong decrease of the diffusion coefficient with increasing tracer size and protein concentration was observed in more homogeneous gels formed at lower salt concentrations. Larger dextran chains were trapped in transparent gels formed at NaCl concentration below 0.1 M. The present investigation complements an earlier study of tracer diffusion of larger spherical probes in β-lg gels using multi-particle tracking.     

The impact of ionic strength and background electrolyte on pH measurements in metal ion adsorption experiments

Our understanding of metal ion adsorption to clay minerals has progressed significantly over the past several decades, and theories have been promulgated to describe and predict the impacts of pH, ionic strength, and background solution composition on the extent of adsorption. Studies evaluating the effects of ionic strength on adsorption typically employ a broad range of background electrolyte concentrations. Measurement of pH in these systems can be inaccurate when pH values are measured with liquid junction pH probes calibrated with standard buffers due to changes in the liquid junction potential between standard, low ionic strength (0.05 M) buffers and high ionic strength solutions (>0.1 M). The objective of this research is to determine the extent of the error in pH values measured at high ionic strength, and to develop an approach for accurately measuring pH over a range of ionic strengths using a combined pH electrode. To achieve this objective, the adsorption of cobalt (10(-5) M) onto gibbsite (10 g/L) from various electrolyte solutions (0.01-1 M) was studied. The pH measurements were determined from calibrations with standard buffers and ionic strength corrected buffer calibrations. The results show a significant effect of the aqueous solution background electrolyte anion and ionic strength on pH measurement. The 0.5 and 1 M ionic strength metal ion adsorption edges shifted to lower pH with increasing ionic strength when pH was calibrated with standard buffers whereas no shift in the adsorption edges was observed when calibrated with ionic strength corrected buffers. Therefore, to obtain an accurate pH measurement, pH calibration should contain the same electrolyte and ionic strength as the samples.
