摘要： Poor mechanical properties of PNIPAAm hydrogels have limited their applications. Nanocomposite hydrogels (NC gels) which incorporate inorganic clay possess high mechanical strength and other desirable properties. In this paper, we report a facile approach to synthesize NC gels using radiation technique. With exfoliated clay sheets acting as crosslinkers, N-isopropylacrylamide monomers are polymerized and crosslinked to form NC gels under -irradiation at room temperature. Apart from regular swelling behavior and interesting performance in thermo sensitivity, the radiation synthesized NC gel (RNC gel) has good optical transparency, high strength and flexibility. Through Micro-FTIR, XPS and TG analyses, a particular chemically crosslinked organic/inorganic network was identified in the RNC gel.

摘要： Three kinds of amphiphilic PMADAB gels were prepared through radiation-induced polymerization and crosslinking of methacryloxyethyl dimethylalkane ammonium bromide (MADAB) with different alkyl side chains (butyl, octyl and dodecyl). The length of alkyl side chains had significant influence on swelling behavior of the PMADAB gels in alcohol/water solvent. Equilibrium swelling degree (EDS) of PMBDAB (butyl) gel in water was ca. 160 and decreased with increasing alcohol content (x), whereas EDS of PMODAB (octyl) and PMDDDAB (dodecyl) gels showed a convex-upward function of x, i.e., these two gels barely swelled in pure water and swelled with increasing x and then shrank gradually. This phenomenon was explained by the hydrophobic association of long alkyl chains and a cosolvency effect of PMADAB in alcohol and water. The swelling behavior of PMADAB gels in methanol, ethanol and isopropanol were similar, and their EDS are related with the dielectric constant of alcohol solvents. The results suggest that PMADAB gels may be potential absorbents for various kinds of alcohols.
