The hydrogels poly (N-cyclohexylacrylamide-co-acrylamide/2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesodiumsulfonate) i.e.poly(NCA-co-AM/AMPSNa) (HG41,HG42,HG43&HG44) were synthesised via  free-radical copolymerization of NCA and (AM) in a fixed proportion  (50:50), but varying the ionic monomer-AMPSNa (0.1g,0.3g,0.5 d 0.7g) in a medium of mixture of water and methanol  at 60°C in an oil bath, Potassium persulfate (KPS) was used as an initiator, while N,N'-methylene-bisacrylamide (MBA) was used as a cross-linker. FT-IR spectral data, SEM, XRD, and TGA techniques were used to characterise the synthesised hydrogel (HG43). On changing pH(3.0, 5.0, 7.0 & 9.0), the amount of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) adsorption efficiency by  these hydrogels was evaluated. At pH 5.0, which is near to BSA's isoelectric point (4.7)., the maximum adsorption was found. BSA adsorption increased as the amount of AMPSNa increased. SEM and XRD were used to examine the BSA-adsorbed hydrogel (HG43). The antibiofilm abilities of the hydrogel (HG43) by Microtiter plate Assay(MTP), Fluorescence microscopy and SEMl against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aureginosa displayed outstanding efficacy.

The free radical copolymerization of N-(phenylamino)maleimide (N-PAMI) was carried. The copolymerization with methyl methacrylate (MMA) was performed at 65°C with AIBN as the initiator in THF solvent. Resulting copolymer was characterized by density measurement, intrinsic viscosity, solubility, FT-IR &1H NMR spectroscopy. Effect of the solvent and time on copolymer yield was also investigated. The molecular weight of copolymer was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The thermal stability of copolymer was determined by Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

A novel stereocomplex poly(lactic acid) amphiphilic conetwork gel with temperature and pH dual sensitivity was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and free radical copolymerization. The chemical structure and composition of hydrogel were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The temperature and pH sensitivity and good amphiphilicity of hydrogel were studied using digital photos, the swelling ratios and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The thermal stability and mechanical properties of hydrogel were studied by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and dynamic viscoelastic spectrometer. The results indicated that the hydrogel has amphiphilicity, temperature and pH sensitivity, good thermal stability and mechanical strength.

P(N-phenylmaleimide-alt-styrene) (P(NPMI-alt-St)) and P(N-(4-carboxyphenyl)maleimide-alt-styrene) (P(CPMI-alt-St)) were designed and synthesized via free radical copolymerization. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR and 13C NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to confirm the structure of P(NPMI-alt-St) and P(CPMI-alt-St). Next, the effect of P(CPMI-alt-St) on the heat deflection temperature (HDT) of nylon 6 was studied. In comparison to the PA6/P(NPMI-alt-St) blend, with the addition of 10 wt %, the HDT value of the PA6/P(CPMI-alt-St) blend increased by 15.7 °C, and the glass transition temperature (Tg) by Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) increased 2.3 °C. According to the analysis of DMA, dynamic viscosity, and the SEM of PA6 and its blends, P(CPMI-alt-St) promoted its compatibility with PA6, and promoted the storage modulus and dynamic viscosity of the blends. Thus, the introduction of 4-carboxyl can significantly improve the effect of P(CPMI-alt-St) on the heat resistance modification of nylon 6.

The purpose of the paper is to present the synthesis and characterization of hydrogels prepared by free-radical copolymerization of acrylamide and acrylic acid in aqueous solutions using potassium persulfate as initiator and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate as cross-linker, via the radiation technique. The samples were subjected to electron beam treatment in the dose range of 2 to 4 kGy and the influence of the absorbed dose and amount of cross-linker on the swelling properties, diffusion coefficient, and network parameters of hydrogels was investigated. A possible reaction mechanism for acrylamide/acrylic acid/trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate hydrogels was also suggested. The structure and morphology of hydrogels were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy.

AbstractA novel shale inhibitor was synthesized by free radical copolymerization in aqueous solution, using acrylic acid (AA), acrylamide (AM), maleic anhydride (MA) KH-570 as reaction monomers and potassium persulfate as initiator. The structure of the copolymer was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the thermal decomposition temperature of the copolymer was higher than 226°C, which indicated that the copolymer had good high temperature resistance. At the same time, the inhibition performance of the copolymer was further evaluated by linear expansion, immersion test and rolling recovery. The experimental results show that the inhibition performance of organosilicon polymer is obviously better than that of potassium chloride (KCl) and potassium polyacrylate (KPAM), and it can be used as an inhibitor in shale gas drilling.

The substituted phenanthrenequinone thiosemicarbazones (HL1, HL2 and HL3), and their metal complexes (M = Ru(II) or Zn(II); SM1, SM2, SM3 and SM4) were synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, 1H & 13C NMR and ESI-MS. The spectral data IR, 1H & 13C NMR and ESI-MS indicates two tridentate ligands coordinating in the form of an octahedral geometry. The gas phase geometry of all the zinc(II) and ruthenium(II) complexes was carried by using density functional theory (DFT). The antimycobacterial susceptibility testing at 100 μM of the complexes using resazurin microtiter plate assay resulted in growth inhibition. Complexes SM2, SM3 and SM4 showed good antimycobacterial activity at 100 μM concentration by using rifampicin as inhibition control.

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.

Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co- methyl methacrylate) HM, was synthesized by free radical copolymerization, cross-linked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and phosphorylated. The phosphate coupling was ensured by ATR spectroscopy. The in vitro mineralization ability of the phosphorylated HM (designated as PHM) was investigated by studying the nucleation and growth of calcium phosphate on its surface by immersing in simulated body fluid (SBF) solution. The coating morphology was studied by SEM and the Ca/P ratio of the coating by EDX analysis. The cell adhesion behaviour of PHM was studied by seeding Human osteosarcoma (HOS) cells for one week followed by SEM analysis along with HM as control. It was observed that HOS cells exhibited biomineralization of calcium phosphate on the surface of HM as well as on PHM with a significantly higher amount on the surface of PHM as observed by von kossa staining method. The results show that PHM is capable of in vitro mineralization under simulated physiological condition, promotes cell adhesion by providing an excellent cell friendly surface and it exhibits biomineralization of calcium phosphate in presence of HOS cells.
