1 Phenomenon of the long-range effect of poly(methacrylic acid) hydrogelpoly(4-vinylpyridine) hydrogel (gPMAA-gP4VP intergel system) оn erbium ions sorption was studied. It was established that the structure of the basic hydrogel had a significant impact on the self-organization of the PMAA hydrogel. The mutual activation of hydrogels was investigated in an aqueous medium. Dependencies of swelling coefficient, specific electric conductivity and pH of aqueous solutions were determined. Individual PMAA and P4VP hydrogels showed the erbium ions extraction degree of about 44 % and 17 %, respectively. At the ratios 5:1 (83 % of gPMAA-17 % gP4VP) and 4:2 (67 % gMPAA-33 % gP4VP), 56 % and 53 % of erbium ions were recovered, respectively. After 48 h the PMAA and P4VP hydrogels had the polymer chain binding degree of 70 %. The obtained results point to the evidence that at these ratios there are significant changes in electrochemical and conformational degrees of initial macromolecules in gPMAA-gP4VP intergel system.
Abstract. Electrochemical properties of intergel system polyacrylic acid (gPAA) and poly-4-vinylpyridine hydrogels (gP4VP) and conformational properties of initial hydrogels were studied depending on hydrogels initial state. Maximum activation area is: for dry hydrogelsgPAA:gP4VP ratios 5:1 and 1:5, for swollen -ratios 5:1, 2:4 and 1:5.
Abstract.1 Sorption ability of intergel system polymethacrylic acid hydrogel (gPMAA) -poly-4-vinylpyridine hydrogel (gP4VP) in relation to lanthanum ions is studied. Hydrogels mutual activation in an aqueous medium, particularly dependencies of swelling coefficient, specific electric conductivity and pH of water solutions are studied. Maximum activation of hydrogels occurs at gPMAA:gP4VP molar ratio 3:3. Maximum total binding degree of polymer chain in the intergel system is observed at the ratio gPMAA:gP4VP = 1:5. It has the value of 73.13 %, which is much higher than at initial hydrogels: gPMAA binding degree is 55.17 %, gP4VP -55.00 %. The obtained results point to the fact that at this ratio there are significant changes of electrochemical, conformational and sorption degrees of initial macromolecules in intergel system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
