Abstract Spherical glutaraldehyde cross-linked poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels (G-PVA) were prepared in three steps: gelatification, cross-linking, and removal of alginate. Gelatification was carried out by dropping a solution of alginate, PVA, and glutaraldehyde into a calcium chloride solution to form calcium alginate. Calcium alginate gels were prepared at 20°C, 40°C, 60°C, and 80°C to study the effect of gelatification temperature on the formation of pores on the surface of G-PVA. The effect of the alginate content was studied. PVA and glutaraldehyde were cross-linked by immersion of the gels in a solution of H2SO4 and Na2SO4. The effect of sodium alginate and inorganic salts, such as MgSO4 and K2SO4, on the formation of pores on the surface of G-PVA was confirmed.

ABSTRACTThis paper describes the synthesis, structure and properties of a new layered nanocomposite which may have applications in cementitious systems. This material is one example of a new class of materials which consist of inorganic crystals containing intercalated organic polymer. The nanocomposite is synthesized by precipitating Ca2Al(OH)6[X]·nH2O (X=OH−, CO3−2) in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that the nanocomposite consists of calcium aluminate layers separated by interlayers containing anions, water and PVA. The intercalation of PVA can only be accomplished during crystal growth and is accompanied by an expansion in layer spacing from ˜8 Å to ˜18 Å. The nanocomposite exhibited enhanced thermal stability and when compacted into a cylinder was found to have more than twice the compressive strength than the pure calcium aluminate.
