Superabsorbent polymer hydrogels with antibacterial activity were prepared by an ion exchange reaction as a feasible approach to induce high saline absorption without gel blockage. Hydroethanolic solutions of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide were used to modify surface particles of cross-linked sodium acrylate- co-acrylic acid copolymers which already synthesized under defined conditions. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was employed to study the structural characteristic of the finished products. The influence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide on free (in water) and loaded (in saline) swelling capacity as well as antibacterial activity of superabsorbent polymer hydrogels against Staphylococcus aureus was investigated. Modified samples displayed an improved free and loaded swelling in water and saline, as well as no gel-blocking. These improvements were found to be affected by the reaction time, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide concentration, and water percentage in the solvent mixture. The results from energy dispersive X-ray analysis showed that cetyltrimethylammonium bromide was distributed uniformly in the superabsorbent polymer hydrogel particle surface. Moreover, the modified superabsorbent polymer hydrogels showed high antibacterial activity against S. aureus. Both bacteriostatic and bactericide effects were observed depending on the reaction conditions. Overall, several improvements were concurrently achieved via a single cost-effective post-treatment on the superabsorbent polymer hydrogel particles. Therefore, the results can effectively be used in designing larger scale production of antibacterial superabsorbent polymer hydrogels with desirable swelling properties in hygiene applications.

We report here our successful attempt to obtain self-healing supramolecular hydrogels with new metal-containing monomers (MCMs) with pendent 4-phenyl-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine metal complexes as reversible moieties by free radical copolymerization of MCMs with vinyl monomers, such as acrylic acid and acrylamide. The resulting metal-polymer hydrogels demonstrate a developed system of hydrogen, coordination and electron-complementary π–π stacking interactions, which play a critical role in achieving self-healing. Kinetic data show that the addition of a third metal-containing comonomer to the system decreases the initial polymerization rate, which is due to the specific effect of the metal group located in close proximity of the active center on the growth of radicals.
