Fast swelling behaviors of thermosensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-methacryloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride)/Na2WO4 cationic composite hydrogels
A facile method was explored to synthesize thermosensitive poly[ N -isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM)- co -methacryloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (DMC)]/Na 2 WO 4 cationic hydrogels via copolymerization of NIPAM and DMC in the presence of Na 2 WO 4 . Na 2 WO 4 acted as both a physical crosslinking agent and a porogen precursor. The hydrogels were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, thermogravimetry, environmental scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Effects of various salt solutions, pH solutions on swelling were investigated. Thermosensitivity of the hydrogels were also investigated in various polar solvents at different temperatures. The resultant hydrogel showed a fast swelling rate and good salt tolerance. The hydrogels reached the swelling equilibrium within 10 min. Moreover, the swelling ratio of the hydrogels increased with the increase of the polarity of the solvent. In the water, the swelling ratio decreased with the increasing of temperature, but remained at a high level even at 80 °C since the pore structure weaken the lower critical solution temperature effect of PNIPAM. The swelling ratio increased instead in low polar solvent, while it became negligible in nonpolar solvent with the increasing of temperature. The whole swelling kinetics was fit for Schott's pseudo-second order model. The hydrogels have a great potential as catalysts and smart materials. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
