Preparation and Properties of Nanocomposite Hydrogel by Photoinitiated Polymerization
A novel hybrid hydrogel (SAT gel) based on covalent crosslinking was prepared by photoinitiated polymerization.Photoactive polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by grafting photoinitiator 2-p-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone) ethylene glycol methacrylate (HMEM) onto the surface of PS nanoparticles,and characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR),fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS).In the presence of monomer (AAm),PS nanoparticles acting as multifunctional cross-linking agents,and in-situ polymerization was carried out on the surface of photoactive particles.This study focused on the effect of photoactive PS nanoparticles concentration and illumination time on the morphology and swelling behavior of SAT hydrogels.It revealed that the three-dimensional structure and swelling ratio decreased with the increasing concentration of PS nanoparticles.Moreover,the pore size compressed with extending the illumination time.Embedding photoactive nanoparticles into hydrogels network to prepare novel hydrogels had advantages of controllable polymerization process and short forming time.This method provided a new way to prepare soft materials and to design the intelligent hydrogels.
