Abstract:

To obtain thermosensitive and injectable hydrogels, hydrotalcite(LDHs) and N-isopropylacrylamide(NIPA) were used to synthesize a series of PNIPA/LDHs hydrogels by free radical polymerization. The properties of PNIPA/LDHs hydrogels were characterized by thermal gravimetric analyzer(TGA), differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and scanning electronic microscopy(SEM). The results show that the synthesized hydrogels have a reversible sol-gel transformation around 33 ℃. LDHs mass ratios have no influence on the temperature and time of gelation. The thermal stability of PNIPA/LDHs is remarkably increased by the addition of LDHs. The endothermic peak of PNIPA/LDHs hydrogels increases with the increase of LDHs mass ratios and the molar ratio of Mg to Al. PNIPA/LDHs hydrogels have porous structures.
