Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogels were prepared by free-radical polymerization in different ethanol-water mixtures. A scanning electron microscopy study revealed that the resulting hydrogels were macroporous. The swelling ratios of the resultant hydrogels in water at 20 C followed this
## Abstract Polymer/clay composite hydrogels were prepared based on PVA hydrogels containing 3β10 wt.β% MOM. Their microstructure and morphology were studied by FTβIR, WAXS and SEM, whereas the interactions between MOM and PVA were evaluated by thermal analyses. The swelling ratios for the PVA/MOM
Chitosan (CS), CS-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) and their dyed (pyrene) hydrogels were prepared using glutaraldehyde (Glu) as a crosslinker. The gelation rate, swelling behaviors in ethanol/water mixtures, electricity-induced contraction and thermoresponse of the gels were investigated using f
