The absorbencies of poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) (PAAM) are measured for the ion strengths of the salt solutions using the self-made PAAM by inverse suspension polymerization. The effects of various salt solutions on the swelling properties were studied systemically, and the relationship between the absorbency (Q) of PAAM and the concentrations of different salt solutions(c) could be expressed as Q=kcn. The absorbencies of PAAM decrease obviously with the ion strengths (less than 0.03mol/kg) and had no great change when the ion strengths were higher than 0.03mol/kg for the same solution systems. The absorbency decreased with an increase in charge of the metal cation. The absorbencies of the PAAM in the sodium solutions with different anion decreased with an increase of the ion strengths. However, the absorbencies increased with the increase in charge of the anionic group and were in order PO43->CO32->Cl-.

A P(AA/AM)–Fe(NO3)3 double crosslinking gel showed a superior tensile strength of 1471 kPa compared to those of all other metal salts tested, which was demonstrated by molecular simulation to result from the stronger hydrogen bonding in this metal–(COO)n complex.

A novel intelligent hydrogel of poly(Humic acid - Nisopropylacrylamide - Acrylic acid) (P(NIPAAm-HA-AA)) was prepared at 70°C by inverse suspension polymerization. The reactions include uses N,N-methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA) as a cross-linking agent, ammonium persulfate (KPS) as an initiator, cyclohexane as a continuous phase and span-65 as dispersant. The influence such as concentration of monomers and cross-linking agent, mole fraction of span-65 in mixed monomers, and temperature of polymerization on the property of resulting P(NIPAAm-HA-AA) hydrogels was investigated in detail. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) demonstrated that NIPAAm, HA and AA was synthetized successfully. The results showed that the swelling ratio (SR) of modified hydrogel was improved significantly with the dosage of NIPAAm. It was also observed that the thermosensitive and pH sensitive characteristics was strongly affected by concentrations of NIPAAm. At last, we choose NIPAAm: HA=0.3.

In order to explore a smart carrier which can control drug delivery in special pH environment, a type of nanometer material, namely, poly acrylic acid acrylamide (P(AA-AM)) was synthesized with acrylic acid and acrylamide as monomers. Its structure was determined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and its swelling properties were tested by measuring its weight evolution. The drug delivery control potential was estimated by monitoring its swelling performances in the solutions of different pH values. The cycle characteristics were also investigated to determine its degradation properties in the environment. The results indicate that the synthesized material is sensitive to pH and is suitable for controlling drug delivery at the pH range from 10 to11 and below 7. Furthermore, this material can be automatic decomposition in the environment so that it is a degradable green material without causing burden to the environment.
