Poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide) (PDEA) hydrogels possess a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) at around 31oC. When the external temperature is raised above the LCST, the hydrogels experience abrupt and drastic shrinkage. This unique property makes them very useful for biomedical applications such as on-off switches for modulated drug delivery and tissue engineering. In this study, itaconic acid (IA) was co-polymerized with N, N-diethylacrylamide (DEA) monomer to improve the LCST to the physiologic temperature about 37oC. These copolymer hydrogels were prepared by changing the initial DEA/IA molar ratio and total monomer concentration. The interior morphologies of hydrogels were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In comparison with the PDEA hydrogel, the equilibrium swelling ratio (ESR) and LCST of the hydrogels increase with the increase of IA content in the feed. The deswelling dynamics behaviors of the different composition ratios of the P(DEA-co-IA) hydrogels on the different temperatures was investigated in detail.

Response To Temperature

Poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide) (PDEA) hydrogel is known for their intelligent reversible swelling/deswelling behavior in response to temperature changes across a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) at around 31oC. In this study, itaconic acid (IA) was co-polymerized with N, N-diethylacrylamide (DEA) monomer to improve the swelling behavior and the total absorbing water. These copolymer hydrogels were prepared by changing the initial DEA/IA molar ratio and total monomer concentration. The chemical structure of hydrogels was characterized by fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. In comparison with the PDEA hydrogel, the equilibrium swelling ratio (ESR) of the hydrogels increase with the increase of IA content in the feed and the swelling dynamics behaviors of the different composition ratios of the P(DEA-co-IA) hydrogels on the different temperatures was investigated in detail.

In this study, poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide-co-itaconic acid) (P(DEA-co-IA)) copolymer hydrogels were synthesized by changing the initial DEA/IA molar ratio, N,N-methylenebisacrylamide and total monomer concentration. The thermo-sensitive and mechanical performances were optimized by altering the above parameters. In comparison with the PDEA hydrogel, the equilibrium swelling ratio (ESR) and lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the hydrogels changed with the alternation of the above parameters. The swelling and deswelling kinetics was also studied in dital. The release behaviors of the model drug, aminophylline, are found dependent on hydrogel composition and environmental temperature, which suggests that these materials have potential application as intelligent drug carriers.

In this study, a new thermosensitive material was proposed as a carrier for gene delivery. The thermosensitive submicron particles were synthesized by the dispersion copolymerization of N-isopropylacylamide (NIPA) with a relatively new, cationic comonomer, N-3-dimethylamino-propylmethacrylamide (DMAPM) with higher ionization ability with respect to the commonly used cationic comonomers. To achieve particle sizes smaller than 1 μm, suitable for gene delivery, the total monomer concentration in the dispersion copolymerization was kept at a sufficiently low level. The size of poly(NIPA-co-DMAPM) particles was determined as 454 nm, by AFM in dry state. The poly(NIPA-co-DMAPM) particles showed both temperature and pH sensitivity in the aqueous media. The plasmid DNA adsorption onto the thermosensitive cationic particles was investigated at different temperatures and pHs. The adsorbed amount of plasmid DNA onto the particles was significantly increased by the introduction of cationic comonomer. The equilibrium plasmid DNA adsorptions up to 13 mg/g dry particles were achieved at physiological pH. Approximately 36% w/w of adsorbed plasmid could be desorbed from the cationic nanolatex. The results of biocompatibility studies performed with mouse fibroblast cells showed the suitability of thermosensitive cationic particles for intended application.

Thermosensitive Copolymers

In this work, new thermosensitive copolymers bearing phosphonated groups were synthesized and used to remove metal pollution. Sorption properties are brought by hydrolyzed (dimethoxyphosphoryl)methyl 2-methylacrylate (hMAPC1) monomer. N-n-propylacrylamide (NnPAAm) led to the thermoresponsive properties of the copolymers. Low lower critical solution temperature (LCST) values were observed, ranging between 20 and 25 °C depending on the molar ratio of each monomer in the copolymer. Sorption properties of these copolymers towards nickel ions were evaluated for increasing temperatures (10–40 °C), Ni ion concentrations of 20 mg L−1 and pH values between 3 and 7. Best results were observed for temperatures just lower than the LCST (20 °C), when the copolymer was fully soluble in water solution. For temperature higher than the LCST, phosphonic diacid groups accessibility was considerably reduced by the precipitation of the thermosensitive part of the copolymer leading to lower sorption properties. In these conditions, the highest Ni removal by the copolymer was observed for pH = 7, when there was almost no competition between the sorption of H+ and Ni2+ ions on the phosphonic acid groups. These optimal conditions enabled removal of about 70% of the nickel in the synthetic effluent.

Ultra High Molecular Weight

Acrylonitrile (AN) and itaconic acid (IA) were used to synthesize UHMWPAN by aqueous suspension method with 2,2’-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator and polyvinylalcohol (PVA) as the disperser at different temperatures (55°C~75°C) for different timings (1.0h~3.0h). The usage amounts of AN, IA, AIBN and PVA were also technical polymerization parameters used to obtain the optimal polymerization process. We found that the conversion and the viscosity average molecular weight both achieved the optimum levels when the conditions were as follows: the total monomer concentration (21wt%), the monomer ratio (AN: IA=98:2), the usage amount of the initiator (AIBN, 0.01wt%), the usage amount of the disperser (PVA, 0.1wt%), the polymerization temperature (70°C) and the polymerization time (2h).

In this study, we synthesized a random poly[(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate)-co-(N-methylolacrylamide)] [poly(NIPAAm-co-HEMA-co-NMA)] copolymer through free-radical polymerization. The NIPAAm, HEMA and NMA moieties were framed to provide thermoresponsiveness, water absorption and retention control, and chemical cross-linking to achieve stability in aqueous medium, respectively. The copolymer showed a significant change in optical transmittance with a variation in temperature due to the change in volume (i.e., hydrophilic/hydrophobic) between 25 °C and 40 °C, attributed to the lower critical solution temperature property of the NIPAAm moiety. The copolymers were wire-bar-coated onto polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabric. Variation in the water contact angle affirmed the switchable wettability due to the change in temperature. We tested the coated fabrics for moisture absorption and release at different temperatures. The results at 20 °C and 37 °C indicated that the P2 copolymer had the highest moisture absorption and release capability. Therefore, the copolymers with tailored properties can be used as smart textiles for activity specific clothing.

Effects Of Ph

Biopolymer-based superabsorbent nanohydrogel consisting of N-isopropylacrylamide and itaconic acid (IA) was grafted on to starch backbone in an aqueous solution in the absence of the cross-linker agents. The copolymerization reaction occurred in the presence of ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator. The effect of N-isopropylacrylamide-to-IA ratio and different concentrations of initiator were investigated. The nanohydrogel composition was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The thermal stability was analyzed by Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies were employed for determination of lower critical solution temperature in hydrogels. Dynamic light scattering analysis showed a narrow size distribution around 70–200[Formula: see text]nm for the synthesized nanohydrogels. The effects of pH on swelling behavior of the hydrogel were investigated. The obtained nanohydrogels, due to their pH and thermo dual sensitive properties, have the potential to be used in the drug delivery systems.

AbstractBased on a biodegradable cross-linker, N-maleyl chitosan (N-MACH), a series of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) and Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylamide) [P(NIPAAm-co-Am)] hydrogels were prepared, and their lower critical solution temperature (LCST), swelling kinetics, equilibrium swelling ratio in NaCl solution, and enzymatic degradation behavior in simulated gastric fluids (SGF) were discussed. The LCST did not change with different cross-linker contents. By altering the NIPAAm/Am molar ratio of P(NIPAAm-co-Am) hydrogels, the LCST could be increased to 39°C. The LCST of the hydrogel was significantly influenced by the monomer ratio of the NIPAAm/Am but not by the cross-linker content. In the swelling kinetics, all the dry hydrogels exhibited fast swelling behavior, and the swelling ratios were influenced by the cross-linker content and NIPAAm/Am molar ratios. Equilibrium swelling ratio of all the hydrogels decreased with increasing NaCl solution concentration. In enzymatic degradation tests, the weight loss of hydrogels was dependent on the cross-linker contents and the enzyme concentration.

Superior Mechanical Properties

A series of semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) hydrogels based on N,N’-diethylacrylamide (DEA) and itaconamic acid (IAM) were synthesized by changing the molar ratio of linear copolymer P(DEA-co-IAM) and DEA monomer. Linear copolymer P(DEA-co-IAM) was introduced into a solution of DEA monomer to prepare pH-thermo dual responsive P(DEA-co-IAM)/PDEA semi-IPN hydrogels. The thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that the semi-IPN hydrogel has a higher thermal stability than the conventional hydrogel, while the interior morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed a porous structure with the pore sizes could be controlled by changing the ratio of linear copolymer in the obtained hydrogels. The oscillatory parallel-plate rheological measurements and compression tests demonstrated a viscoelastic behavior and superior mechanical properties of the semi-IPN hydrogels. Besides, the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the linear copolymers increased with the increase of IAM content in the feed, while the semi-IPN hydrogels increased LCSTs with the increase of linear copolymer content introduced. The pH-thermo dual responsive of the hydrogels was investigated using the swelling behavior in various pH and temperature conditions. Finally, the swelling and deswelling rate of the hydrogels were also studied. The results indicated that the pH-thermo dual responsive semi-IPN hydrogels were synthesized successfully and may be a potential material for biomedical, drug delivery or absorption applications. The further applications of semi-IPN hydrogels are being conducted.
