Abstract Mechanically stable hydrogels featuring water absorption capacities of up to 75 gH2O ggel -1 can be obtained by cross-linking of activated technical lignins with poly(ethylene) glycol diglycidyl ether under strong alkaline conditions. Fenton oxidation prior to cross-linking by hydrogen peroxide and catalytic amounts of ferrous chloride has been found to be superior to an alkaline H2O2 pre-treatment with respect to gel formation, water sorption, and rheological properties of the resulting oligo(oxyethylene) lignin gels. Purified pine kraft lignin undergoes in the course of Fenton oxidation hydroxylation of both aliphatic and aromatic moieties. This is the main reason for the enhanced cross-linking density obtained after treatment with poly(ethylene) glycol diglycidyl ether. The oxidative changes have been demonstrated by principal component analysis of Curie point pyrograms, wet chemical methods, FT-IR, and 31P NMR spectroscopy. Cleavage of side-chains, radical 5,5′-coupling of phenylpropane units, formation of carbonyl and carboxyl groups, and cleavage of aromatic rings were observed. These structural changes may increase or decrease the water sorption capability of the cross-linked products.

Addition reactions of multi-functional amine, polyethylene imine (PEI) or diethylenetriamine (DETA), and poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDE) or poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), have been investigated to obtain network polymers in H2O, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and ethanol (EtOH). Ring opening addition reaction of the multi-functional amine and PEGDE in H2O at room temperature or in DMSO at 90 °C using triphenylphosphine as a catalyst yielded gels. Aza-Michael addition reaction of the multi-functional amine and PEGDA in DMSO or EtOH at room temperature also yielded corresponding gels. Compression test of the gels obtained with PEI showed higher Young’s modulus than those with DETA. The reactions of the multi-functional amine and low molecular weight PEGDA in EtOH under the specific conditions yielded porous polymers induced by phase separation during the network formation. The morphology of the porous polymers could be controlled by the reaction conditions, especially monomer concentration and feed ratio of the multi-functional amine to PEGDA of the reaction system. The porous structure was formed by connected spheres or a co-continuous monolithic structure. The porous polymers were unbreakable by compression, and their Young’s modulus increased with the increase in the monomer concentration of the reaction systems. The porous polymers absorbed various solvents derived from high affinity between the polyethylene glycol units in the network structure and the solvents.

A piperidine-functionalized poly (ethylene glycol) bridged dicationic ionic liquid PEG800-DPIL(Cl) was synthesized and applied to catalyze the four-component Hantzsch reaction under solvent-free conditions and afford hydroquinolines with high to excellent yields. PEG800-DPIL(Cl) could be recovered by simple workup and recycled for at least eight times without obvious activity loss.
