Conventional conductive hydrogels are susceptible to swelling in aquatic environments; which compromises their mechanical integrity; a limitation that poses a potential challenge to their long-term stability and application. In this study, a zwitterionic ion-conductive hydrogel was fabricated from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), acrylic acid (AA), and [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide (SMBA), forming a dual-network structure. A copolymer of zwitterionic SBMA and AA formed the first network, and PVA formed the second network by repeated freeze–thawing. The equilibrium state of zwitterionic SBMA was modulated by AA to protonate the SBMA, which resulted in the conversion of -SO3−to -SO3H; thus, hydrogels had the anti-swelling property driven by electrostatic repulsion. In addition, the prepared hydrogels possessed excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength of 0.76 MPa, elongation at break of 322%, and compressive strength of 0.97 MPa at 75% compressive strain) and remarkable anti-swelling properties (80% swelling after 120 h of immersion). Owing to the zwitterionic nature of SBMA, the hydrogel also showed inherent antimicrobial properties and high electrical conductivity, which could be capable of monitoring human movement and physiological signals. This work provides a facile strategy for designing hydrogels with remarkable mechanical properties and anti-swelling characteristics, expanding the application environment of hydrogels in flexible sensing

Effective molecularly imprinted membranes(MIMs) were developed as an efficient adsorbent for the selective removal of p -hydroxybenzoic acid( p -HB) from acetylsalicylic acid(ASA, aspirin). The MIMs were grafted successfully from poly(vinylidene fluoride) microfiltration membranes via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer(RAFT) polymerization. The graft copolymerization of acrylic acid(AA) in the presence of template p -hydroxybenzoic acid led to molecularly imprinted polymer(MIP) film coated membranes. The obtained MIMs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer(FTIR) and Raman spectra, and batch mode adsorption studies were carried out to investigate the specific adsorption equilibrium, kinetics and selective recognition properties of different MIMs. The kinetic properties of the MIMs could be well described by the pseudo-second-order rate equation. Selective permeation experiments were performed to evaluate the permeation selectivity of the p -HB imprinted membranes. The observed performances of the MIMs are applicable to the further purification of aspirin.

In this study, cellulose-based superabsorbent hydrogel was synthesized from sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na), acrylic acid (AA), and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) to enhance its water absorbency and salt tolerance for soil-conditioning applications in areas suffering from drought and soil salinization. Superabsorbent hydrogels (SHs) were prepared by CMC-Na and AMPS successfully, using chemical graft technology. Structure, morphology, thermal stability , and water absorbency of SHs were deduced. The cellulose-based hydrogel showed a high salt tolerance that the maximum water absorbency reached 604 and 119% in distilled water and saline water, respectively. The swelling behavior in aqueous solvents indicated that the water absorption of hydrogels was improved with the increasing ratio of CMC-Na. All SHs exhibited adsorption of nitrogen with the maximum adsorption of ammonia nitrogen 30 mg·g −1 and the presence of hydrogels could slow down the loss of nutrients in the soil. This study provided a feasible strategy that AMPS was substituted by CMC-Na to synthesize SHs with strong water absorbency and high salt tolerance which could be efficiently applied in agriculture as a soil conditioner.

Development of polymer-based flooding technology to improve oil recovery efficiency, water dispersion copolymerization of acrylamide, cationic monomer methacryloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (METAC), and anionic monomer acrylic acid (AA) were carried out in aqueous ammonium sulfate solution with polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as the stabilizer. The copolymers were characterized by 1H-NMR, FT-IR, TG, and SEM to confirm that they were prepared successfully and exhibited excellent salt-resistant property. Moreover, the effect of the aqueous solution of ammonium sulfate (AS) concentration, stabilizer concentration, and initiator concentration on the viscosity and size were systematically investigated. To further improve the thermal endurance properties of copolymer, hydrophobic monomers with different alkyl chain lengths were added to the above system. The acrylamide-based quadripolymer possessed prominent thermal and salt endurance properties by utilizing the advantages of zwitterionic structure and hydrophobic monomer. With the temperature rising, the viscosity retention could reach 70.2% in the water and 63.8% in the saline. This work had expected to provide a new strategy to design polymers with excellent salinity tolerance and thermal-resistance performances.
