A pH-sensitive and mechanically strong graphene oxide/sodium alginate/polyacrylamide nanocomposite semi-IPN hydrogel was designed and prepared. The composite semi-IPN hydrogel showed superior mechanical strength and pH-dependent swelling behavior.

AbstractThe swelling behavior of hydroxyethyl cellulose-acrylamide hydrogels at different pH and temperatures was studied. The absorption increased for the first 12 hours and then decreased. Several hydroxyethyl cellulose-acrylamide ratios were studied. Increasing hydroxyethyl cellulose amount decreased swelling, indicating that swelling was affected by increase in crosslinking. Three different levels of crosslinking agent were studied. Hydrogels exhibited a thermal and pH sensitive behaviour. Highest swelling capacity was found at pH 7.0 and 30 °C. All samples were characterized by means of infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Characteristic absorbance peaks for both materials were found, showing the presence of hydroxyethyl cellulose and acrylamide on hydrogel.

This study investigates the formation of microstructured macromaterials from thermo- and pH-sensitive microgels based on interpenetrating networks of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) and polyacrylic acid (PAA). Macromaterials are produced as a result of the deposition of microgel particles and subsequent crosslinking of polyacrylic acid subnetworks to each other due to the formation of the anhydride bonds during annealing. Since both PNIPAM and PAA are environment-sensitive polymers, one can expect that their conformational state during material development will affect its resulting properties. Thus, the influence of conditions of preparation for annealing (pH of the solution, the temperature of preliminary drying) on the swelling behavior, pH- and thermosensitivity, and macromaterial inner structure was investigated. In parallel, the study of the effect of the relative conformations of the IPN microgel subnetworks on the formation of macromaterials was carried out by the computer simulations method. It was shown that the properties of the prepared macromaterials strongly depend both on the temperature and pH of the PNIPAM-PAA IPN microgel dispersions. This opens up new opportunities to obtain materials with pre-chosen characteristics and environmental sensitivity.
