In this study, novel 1-methylpropargyl alcohol derivatives containing leucine side groups on their side chains were successfully synthesized and polymerized using (nbd)Rh + [η 6 -C 6 H 5 B − (C 6 H 5 ) 3 ] as catalyst. Circular dichroism (CD) and ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectra revealed that the polymers took predominantly one-handed helical structures that were stable under heat. Deprotection of the t-butyloxycarboryl (Boc) groups in the homopolymers under acidic conditions produced polymers with primary amine moieties on the side chains. The polymers were soluble in aqueous medium, and turbidity test revealed that they were pH-responsive. Amino acid-based polymers were further used in the enantionselective crystallization of alanine enantiomers and l -alanine was preferably induced to crystallize with the l -leucine-based polymer.

In this work, the stepwise synthesis of interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) strategy was developed in an attempt to fabricate novel hydrogels consisting of sugarcane bagasse cellulose (SBC), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) as a dual-responsive drug carrier. The pretreated and dissolved SBC was pre-crosslinked using epichlorohydrin in the presence of CMC, followed by in-situ free-radical polymerization of NIPAm in the presence of N,N′-Methylene-bis(acrylamide) as a crosslinking agent. The carboxyl groups in CMC and PNIPAm chains rendered the resulting hydrogel pH and thermal responsive. The results from scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy , thermogravimetric analysis and mechanical property testing demonstrated the successful formation of the IPN with proper structure and mechanical strength . The swelling experiments at different temperatures and pH showed the dual–sensibility of the hydrogels. Moreover, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a model drug and loaded in the hydrogel; and the drug release behavior was revealed in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) and simulated gastric fluid (SGF). The results indicated that the dual-responsive IPN hydrogel is of great potential for the controlled release of drug.

Development of tough hydrogels has greatly expanded their applications as load-bearing materials. However, the elastic modulus of tough hydrogels is usually lower than 1 MPa. It remains a challenge to design tough hydrogels with high modulus. We report here a series of tough double-network (DN) hydrogels with ultrahigh elastic modulus (up to 200 MPa) by forming robust hydrogen bonds between the first poly(acrylic acid) network and the second poly( N -isopropyl acrylamide) network. The dense cooperative hydrogen bonds greatly reduce the segmental mobility and thus improve the rigidity of gel matrix. Owing to the dynamic nature of hydrogen bonds, the modulus of hydrogels is strongly influenced by temperature and pH, affording the gels shape memory property. The strategy by forming robust noncovalent bonds between interpenetrating networks should be applicable to other systems for designing tough and versatile hydrogels with diverse promising applications. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A homopolymer strategy was developed to synthesize temperature and pH/CO 2 stimulus-responsive homopolymers. A new class of acrylamide monomers bearing oligo(ethylene glycol) unit and N,N -diethylaminoethyl group were designed and prepared through Aza-Michael addition reaction followed by amidation with acryloyl chloride using amino group as a linkage to connect oligo(ethylene glycol), N,N -diethylaminoethyl, and polymerizable double bond groups together. Subsequently, the corresponding homopolymers containing oligo(ethylene glycol) unit and N,N -diethylaminoethyl group in each repeated unit were prepared via RAFT polymerization with controlled molecular weights and relatively narrow molecular weight distributions . The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of homopolymer was examined to be influenced by molecular weight, salt concentration, and pH value of aqueous solution. The LCSTs of homopolymers could be tuned in a wide temperature window by changing pH value of aqueous solution and it increased with the decrease of pH value. Particularly, CO 2 gas as a unique pH stimulus can also reversibly adjust the solubility of homopolymer without the addition of acids or bases.

A novel family of multi-responsive, tough, and reversible hydrogels were prepared by the combination of dipole-dipole interaction, hydrogen bonding interaction and slightly chemical cross-linking, using monomers of acrylonitrile, sodium allylsulfonate and itaconic acid. Reversible gel-sol transition was achieved by the flexible conversion of the dipole-dipole interactions between acrylonitrile-acrylonitrile and acrylonitrile-sodium thiocyanate, and the hydrogels could freely form desired shapes. The dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding interactions improved the mechanical strength of the hydrogels with a compressive stress of 2.38 MPa. Meanwhile, the hydrogels sustained cyclic compressive tests with 60% strain, and exhibited excellent elastic property. The hydrogels were sensitive to pH and ionic strength, and could keep their perfect spherical structures without any obvious cracks even after immersing in strong ionic strength (or pH) solution for several reversible cycles. Furthermore, the hydrogels were recycled for environmental pollution remediation, and showed great potential to be applied in water treatments and other related fields.
