Poly Acrylic Acid

We present a new experimental device to measure the osmotic pressure in gels. The system has been tested on partially neutralized poly(acrylic acid) gels. The variation of the osmotic pressure with polymer concentration, Φ, and ionization degree, α, is linear, provided that α is not too high (I.e. the counterions do not condense on the chains). These results are in good agreement with theoretical models and with compressibility measurements obtained by light scattering experiments. The very charged gels are also studied, and the results are discussed in the frame of existing theories and experiments.

Semi-Interpenetrating networks (SIPN) hydrogel composed of poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was prepared by free radical solution polymerization. The SIPN was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The electric stimuli responsive characteristics were investigated. The hydrogel bent toward the anode initially, altered the bending direction for two times and bent toward the anode ultimately when it was placed in a 0.1 M NaCl aqueous solution under non-contact DC field. For interpreting the special deformation the osmotic pressure curves according to Shiga’ osmotic pressure model were simulated and the pH gradient theory was applied to explain the final direction.

In the reaction of dianions with poly(methyl methacrylate), only an insignificant amount of insoluble crosslinked product is obtained. If, however, the concentration of grafting dianions approaches that of ester groups, the amount of poly(methyl methacrylate) which may thus be crosslinked becomes quite significant. Dications, too, can bring about crosslinking of only an insignificant number of poly(methyl methacrylate) chains. Carboxylic groups in poly(acrylic acid) react with dianions and dications in an anhydrous medium similarly to ester groups. On the other hand, in the presence of a cocatalytic amount of water dications are more readily bound to carboxylic groups, forming a covalent bond. The relatively highest efficiency was observed in the bond formation between dication and the poly[styrene-alt-(maleic anhydride)], both in an anhydrous medium and in the presence of H2O.

The nanocomposite hydrogels were prepared by dispersing of the nanopomegranate seed particles into poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(acrylic acid) blend matrix in an aqueous medium by the solvent casting method. These hydrogels were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectra, differential scanning calorimetry, and optical contact angle instruments. The nanopomegranate seed, blend, and hydrogel nanocomposites were tested for microbial activity. In addition, cytocompatibilities of these blend and hydrogel nanocomposites/composites were tested on human lymphocyte with in vitro MTS cell viability assays. Fourier transform infrared spectra revealed that esterification reaction took place among functional groups in the structure of poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(acrylic acid). The hydrophilic properties of all hydrogels decreased with increasing nanopomegranate seed content. The mean diameters of the nanopomegranate seed particles were about 88 nm. Nanopomegranate seed particles demonstrated antibacterial properties against gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, and gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli. The lymphocyte viabilities increased after addition of nanopomegranate seeds into the polymer blend. The swelling behavior of blend and hydrogels was dependent on the cross-linking density created by the reaction between poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(acrylic acid) blend and nanopomegranate seed. Scanning electron microscopy images were highly consistent with Fourier transform infrared spectra, differential scanning calorimetry, and antibacterial activity results.
