Characteristics of electrical responsive chitosan/polyallylamine interpenetrating polymer network hydrogel

Abstract: An interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogel composed of chitosan and polyallylamine exhibited electric-sensitive behavior. The chitosan/polyallylamine IPN hydrogel was synthesized by radical polymerization using 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone (DM-PAP) and methylene bisacrylicamide (MBAAm) as initiator and crosslinker, respectively. The swelling behavior of the IPN was studied by immersion of the gel samples in aqueous NaCl solutions at various concentrations and pHs. The swelling ratio decreased wit… Show more

“…Studies of reversible volume changes in response to pH, ionic concentration, etc. have been carried out for several kinds of polymeric networks [3][4][5]. The swelling behavior of any polymer network depends upon the nature of the polymer, polymersolvent compatibility and degree of cross-linking.…”

“…Due to attractive features such as a precisely controllable signal amplitude, frequency, and direction, the use of an electric stimulus to trigger hydrogel actuation has aroused remarkable interest 66 . Commonly investigated electric-responsive hydrogels that deform upon electric stimulation include but are not restricted to chitosan [67][68][69] , PAAc 70-73 , 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate (4-HBA) [73][74][75] , and poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid) (PAMPS) [76][77][78][79] . Chitosan is a natural macromolecular polymer made from chitin, a component abundantly distributed in the shells of crustaceans.…”

“…Numerous investigations conducted on electro-responsive polymers involve polyelectrolyte hydrogels, as they distort in electrical field because of deswelling or anisotropic inflammation when activated ions are steered toward the cathodic or anodic region of the hydrogel. , Electro-responsive polymers can be prepared from both synthetic as well as the natural polymers, where naturally occurring polymers include chondroitin sulfate, alginate, chitosan and hyaluronic acid, while synthetic polymers include allylamine, acrylonitrile, vinyl alcohol, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), methacrylic acid (MAA), , aniline, acrylic acid, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, and vinyl sulfonic acids . In an investigation conducted in recent times by Gao et al, wherein they stated on electro-sensitive hydrogel constructed from poly­(sodium maleate- co -sodium acrylate) and PVA that the gel distortion amplified on increasing electrical voltage or intensity of NaCl.…”
