Swelling behaviour of a new kind of polyampholyte hydrogel composed of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate and acrylic acid

Poly[(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate)‐co‐(acrylic acid)] [poly(DMAEMA‐co‐AAc)] hydrogels have been synthesized by UV‐induced copolymerization of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and acrylic acid monomer. The effects of pH and ionic strength on the swelling behaviour of poly(DMAEMA‐co‐AAc) hydrogels were investigated in detail. It was found that there is minimal equilibrium swelling ratio (ESR) for the hydrogels with the change of pH, and the pH at minimal ESR of the hydrogels was defined by the isoelectric points (IEP), similar to the situation with protein molecules. The IEP of the hydrogels shifted to higher values with increase in the DMAEMA content in the hydrogels. Antipolyelectrolyte behaviour of the hydrogels at a pH near the IEP was observed as well, and the ESR increased with increasing ionic strength. The study of swelling kinetics of the hydrogels showed that the swelling process was Fickian at the IEP and non‐Fickian when the pH deviated from the IEP.

Permeation of solutes through interpenetrating polymer network hydrogels composed of poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(acrylic acid)

The swelling behaviors of poly(vinyl alcohol)–poly(acrylic acid) (PVA–PAAc) interpenetrating networks (IPN) hydrogels in the presence of electrolytes were studied. The ionized carboxylic group within IPN hydrogels at pH 7 strongly interacted with electrolytes in the medium and caused anomalous swelling pattern. The permeabilities of 5 representative solutes were regulated as a function of temperature, pH, ionic strength, solute size, and ionic properties of solutes. The permeation of nonionic solutes followed the swelling behaviors dependent on external stimuli, including the above factors. However, the ionic solutes showed different trends in their permeation through IPN hydrogels. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polm Sci 69: 479–486, 1998     

Swelling behavior of poly(acrylamide‐co‐N‐vinylimidazole) hydrogels under different environment conditions

A series of random copolymers of acrylamide and N‐vinylimidazole, poly(AAm‐co‐NVI), with various compositions were prepared using redox copolymerization. The influence of environmental conditions such as pH, temperature, and ionic strength on the swelling behavior of the copolymeric hydrogels was investigated. The hydrogels exhibited the highest equilibrium swelling in basic medium at high temperature. Equilibrium swelling decreased with rising ionic strength at pH 5.0. As pH increased, equilibrium swelling of the hydrogels increased at pH 11.0 and I = 0.20 M. Swelling kinetics of the hydrogels was found to be non‐Fickian at 25°C. The process tended to be Fickian at higher pH and temperature. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 96: 1783–1788, 2005     

Synthesis and characterization of new methacrylate-type hydrogels containing 2-tert-butylamino ethyl groups for sorption purposes

Crosslinked poly[2-(tert-butylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (PtBAEMA) hydrogels were synthesized by ⁶⁰Co-γ-radiation-initiated simultaneous polymerization and crosslinking of 2-(tert-butylamino)ethyl methacrylate in bulk and in aqueous solutions. The results showed that the gelation percentage decreased with increasing water content. The structural and thermal characterizations of the hydrogels were accomplished with several techniques, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, swelling measurements, thermogravimetry, and differential scanning calorimetry. The effects of time, pH, temperature, and ionic strength on the swelling behavior were also investigated. Swelling equilibrium was attained in 2–3 days. PtBAEMA hydrogels originally swelled to 350% (by volume) in deionized water, but this value reached 3000% around pH 2.0. PtBAEMA hydrogels were reversibly affected by the change in temperature within the temperature range of 4–70°C. The swelling ratios of the gels decreased with increasing ionic strength. As a result, PtBAEMA hydrogels show stimuli-responsive properties depending on the characteristics of the environment, and they are being considered for adoption as some kind of carrying material for separation. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of pH- and temperature-sensitive hydrogel of N-isopropylacrylamide/cyclodextrin based copolymer

A reactive β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) based monomer carrying vinyl carboxylic acid functional groups was synthesized via reaction of β-CD with maleic anhydride (MAH) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at 80 °C. By copolymerization of the monomer with N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA), a novel hydrogel, poly(NIPA-co-MAH-β-CD) with pH and temperature sensitivities plus molecular inclusion function, was obtained using free radical polymerization in aqueous solution. The hydrogel's composition was determined by element analysis and infrared spectroscopy. Equilibrium swelling ratio (ESR) of hydrogels was tested under different environment of pH, temperature and ionic strength. The results indicated that ESR of hydrogels presents marked variations following the change of experimental conditions used.     

Swelling characterization of the semiinterpenetrating polymer network hydrogels composed of chitosan and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)

Temperature‐ and pH‐responsive semiinterpenetrating polymer network (SIPN) hydrogels, constructed with chitosan (CS) and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC), were studied. The characterizations of the IPN hydrogels were investigated by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and swelling tests, under various conditions. CS/PDADMAC SIPN hydrogels exhibited a relatively high swelling ratio, in the range of 248–462%, at 25°C. The swelling ratio of CS/PDADMAC IPN hydrogels are pH, temperature, and ionic concentration dependent. DSC was used for the quantitative determination of the amounts of freezing and nonfreezing water. The amount of free water increased with increasing PDADMAC content in the IPN hydrogels. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 2876–2880, 2004
