AbstractA series of temperature and pH responsive hydrogels were synthesized by using hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) as temperature natural sensitive material, sodium alginate (SA) as pH sensitive material. The effect of SA to LCST has been studied and the mechanism of the influence has been presented. In addition, the swelling ratio and controlling factor of swelling process were all researched in this paper. The main results obtained are as follows: the LCST decreased gradually as SA was added into HPC; the HPC/SA hydrogel responded to both temperature and pH value of the medium; the swelling ratio reached maximum value at pH value of 6.

Stimuli-responsive hydrogels are extensively investigated to implement new biomedical and pharmaceutical approaches. In this work, novel pH-sensitive hydrogel, with potassium persulfate as the initiator, acrylic acid and butyl methacrylate as graft monomer, were synthesized by microwave irradiation. FT-IR measurements testified the hydrogels formed structure. The SEM micrographs revealed that the porous structures of hydrogels changed with the increasing AA content. The experimental results demonstrated that the gels do not swell greatly at low pH media whereas they swelled sufficiently at high pH media, exhibiting smart pH sensitivity.
