Abstract
Novel smart hydrogel fibers were prepared from a blend of hydrolyzed‐polyacrylonitrile (H‐PAN) and soy protein (SP). The dynamic and static elongation/contraction behaviors were studied. It was discovered that H‐PAN/SP hydrogel fibers consisted of a multiporous structure. With an increase in the content of SP, the hydrogel fibers exhibited excellent reversible pH‐sensitive behavior. When the weight ratio of H‐PAN to SP was 4 : 6, the hydrogel fibers showed the best response times at 1.35 s (elongation) and 0.63 s (contraction). Discontinuous volume phase transitions and hysteresis loops of the hydrogel fibers induced by changes in pH value were found. These results were found to be explicable in terms of the surface morphology and polyampholytic properties of H‐PAN/SP hydrogel fibers. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008

Hydrogels were synthesized from poultry feather protein by crosslinking ethylene diamine tetraacetic dianhydride (EDTAD)-modified feather protein isolate (FPI) with glutaraldehyde (Glu). Different molar ratios of EDTAD/FPI were used to obtain FPI of different degrees of acylate modification. Differe
Novel pH-sensitive physically crosslinked hydrogels were synthesized by grafting D,L-lactic acid (LA) onto the amino groups in chitosan (CS) without a catalyst. The structures of these graft copolymers were analyzed by FTIR and X-ray measurements. Degree of substitution, side-chain length, and yield
