Reversible shear gelation of polymer–clay dispersions
Reversible, shear-induced gelation of semi-dilute aqueous colloidal dispersions consisting of monodisperse discoid particles (Laponite) and weakly adsorbing polymer (polyethylene oxide) is studied through a combination of small angle neutron scattering and oscillatory shear. When shaken the samples undergo a dramatic transition from a low viscosity fluid to a self-supporting, turbid gel. This c...
متن کاملAnalysis of Water State and Gelation of Methylcellulose Thermo-reversible Hydrogels by Thermal Analysis and NMR.
The gelation of aqueous methylcellulose (MC) solutions containing polyethylene glycol (PEG) was studied by the combination of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Raman spectrometry. The gelation of MC hydrogels containing PEG occurred in two-steps. First, the gel network was formed by the hydrophobic interaction between MC and PEG at 310 - 313 K, and then, the gel network was formed bet...
متن کاملReversible hydrogels from self-assembling genetically engineered protein block copolymers.
A series of triblock protein copolymers composed of a central water-soluble polyelectrolyte segment flanked by two coiled-coil domains was synthesized by genetic engineering methods. The copolymers self-assembled into reversible hydrogels in response to changes in temperature, pH, and the presence or absence of denaturating agent (guanidine hydrochloride, GdnHCl). Hydrogel formation was concent...
متن کاملRapid self-healing hydrogels.
Synthetic materials that are capable of autonomous healing upon damage are being developed at a rapid pace because of their many potential applications. Despite these advancements, achieving self-healing in permanently cross-linked hydrogels has remained elusive because of the presence of water and irreversible cross-links. Here, we demonstrate that permanently cross-linked hydrogels can be eng...
متن کاملSelf-healing hydrogels containing reversible oxime crosslinks.
Self-healing oxime-functional hydrogels have been developed that undergo a reversible gel-to-sol transition via oxime exchange under acidic conditions. Keto-functional copolymers were prepared by conventional radical polymerization of N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMA) and diacetone acrylamide (DAA). The resulting water soluble copolymers (P(DMA-stat-DAA)) were chemically crosslinked with difunctiona...
