Abstract The adsorption and electrokinetic properties of hybrid silica materials composed of nickel and silicon oxides (NixOy-SiO2), characterized by different contents of nickel oxide (from 0.5 to 3 mmol/g SiO2), were examined. These solids were also modified by poly(vinyl alcohol) to change their surface characteristics. The polymer is non-toxic and very well soluble in water. Due to incomplete hydrolysis of the polymer acetate groups, its macromolecules become negatively charged. The limited range of studied pH (6–10) resulted from high solubility of nickel oxide at more acidic pH values. The spectrophotometric, surface charge and electrophoretic measurements indicated that PVA exhibits higher adsorption affinity for the surfaces of mixed oxide with a larger content of nickel in its structure. Moreover, the presence of polymeric layers on the solid surface influences considerably the structure of electrical double layer formed at the mixed oxide-aqueous solution interface.

PVA–glycerol gels, which were adhered onto metal substrates by using adhesives, were employed as robust antifouling coating materials. The adhesion stability and antifouling performances of the hydrogel coating against barnacles were investigated.

AbstractAbstract New polymer hydrogels based on partially phosphorylated poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA/Phosphoester) have been prepared. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was employed to confirm PVA/Phosphoester formation. Contact angle measurements were performed to evaluate the surface characteristics of the hydrogels. The PVA/Phosphoester hydrogels were co-networked with Chondroitin sulfate (CS) in various ratios by chemical crosslinking. The synthetic-natural mixed resulted semi-IPN hydrogels were structurally and morphologically investigated by ATR — FT-IR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The swelling behavior and dynamic moisture sorption capacity of the PVA/Phosphoester (p-methyl-phenyl phosphonic dichloride) (P3)-CS semi-IPN hydrogels were followed. It was found that the performance of the semi-IPN hydrogels was influenced by the CS. By kinetic studies, it has been shown that the swelling processes occurred by an anomalous transport mechanism.

The thermal, mechanical, rheological, and surface characteristics of some xanthan/poly(vinyl alcohol)/red grape pomace composite cryogels prepared by the freeze/thawing approach were investigated. The results were discussed in comparison with those obtained for individual xanthan or poly(vinyl alcohol) cryogel networks synthesized under the same conditions. The mechanical strength of the cryogels was enhanced by increasing the number of freeze/thawing cycles, and by the addition of a natural polyphenol (i.e. red grape pomace). The thermal stability of the poly(vinyl alcohol) in the blend significantly decreased upon the addition of 50% xanthan, while the presence of a single neat melting profile indicated good component miscibility for the chosen ratios. The water sorption capacity depended on the amount of polyphenol incorporated, thus the hydrophilicity of the cryogel films decreased with the increase of polyphenol content.
