The aim of this work was to study the adsorption behavior of the nanosilica-containing hydrogel nanocomposite of gum karaya grafted with poly(acrylic acid-acrylamide) (GK-clP(AA-co-AAM)) in the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. The hydrogel nanocomposite was synthesized by the base-catalyzed hydrolysis and water condensation reactions of tetraethylorthosilicate in an aqu...

A novel nanocomposite hydrogel with controllable multiple thermosensitivity has been synthesized by introducing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) into clay/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) nanocomposite hydrogel, which exhibits double thermosensitive phase transition: a UCST and a LCST spontaneously.

a key parameter for the application of polymer gels in water shut off treatment is the adsorption of polymer gel onto the rock surface. so, the adsorption properties of a nanocomposite hydrogel were discussed in this research by crosslinking of sulfonated polyacrylamide/sodium montmorillonite aqueous solutions with chromium triacetate. the x-ray diffraction patterns indicated that exfoliated ty...

cell-based biosensors have become a research hotspot in biosensors and bioelectronics fields. the main feature of cell-based biosensors is the immobilization of living cell on the surface of transducers. different types of polymers which are used as scaffolds for cell growth should be biocompatible and have reactive functional groups for further attachment of biomolecules. in this work, the cel...

A dual nanocomposite hydrogel with inorganic hybrid crosslinking was fabricated through a simultaneous sol-gel technique and free radical polymerization. Due to the multi-strengthening mechanism of the dual nanocomposite, the hydrogel was super tough and strong with a compressive stress of 32.00 MPa without rupture even at 100% strain, while it exhibited excellent fatigue resistant properties.

We demonstrate a new light-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) hydrogel nanocomposite incorporating glycidyl methacrylate functionalized graphene oxide (GO–GMA) instead of metallic nanoparticle fillers. GO–GMA is synthesized by esterification with glycidyl methacrylate. GO–GMA incorporated hydrogels are synthesized by photopolymerization of NIPAAm including 4-dimethylaminopyridine ...

The compositions and the multi phase structures of bio-nanocomposite hydrogels made from silicate cross-linked PEO and chitosan are related to some of their physical and biological properties. The gels are injectable and self-healing because the cross-linking is physical and reversible under deformation. The presence of chitosan aggregates affects the viscoelastic properties and reinforces the ...

Polyacrylamide (PAM) was used as a matrix material for fabricating novel nanocomposite hydrogels reinforced with natural chitosan nanofibers (CNFs) via in situ free-radical polymerization. The nanocomposite's structure, strength, morphology and rheological properties were investigated. The results showed that the CNFs had a strong interaction with PAM through hydrogen and covalent bondings. The...
