Abstract:New thermosensitive hydrogels based on N-isopropyl acrylamide and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate were prepared in the presence of ammonium persulfate as an initiator using a free-radical technique. The thermal stability as well as the physical and chemical properties of the obtained hydrogel were studied by thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy. The swelling of the hydrogels was investigated by the cathetometer method. In order to use thermosensitive hydrogels … Show more
“…The obtained hydrogels were washed with distilled water for 10 days to clean the samples from unreacted monomers. Then, the hydrogel samples were dehydrated at room temperature and in a vacuum oven until the weight was kept constant [ 15 ].…”

“…Our lab prepared water swelling and soluble thermosensitive copolymer poly( N -isopropyl acrylamide-co-2-hydroxyl ethyl acrylate) and various physical and chemical methods have studied their different characteristics. Linear copolymer composition and reactivity monomer ratios were calculated by Kelen–Tudos and Fineman–Ross methods [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ].…”
Hydrogel copolymers based on N,N-dimethyl acrylamide (DMA) and acrylic acid (AAc) were synthesized using a solution polymerization technique with different monomer ratios and ammonium persulfate as an initiator. This paper investigates the thermal stability, physical and chemical properties of the hydrogel copolymer. Testing includes Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and elemental analysis (CHNS). The copolymer composition was determined by elemental analysis, and the reactivity ratios of monomers were calculated through linearization methods such as Fineman–Ross (FR), inverted Fineman–Ross (IFR), Kelen–Tudos (KT) and Mayo–Lewis (ML). Good agreement was observed between the results of all four methods. The ratio of r1 and r2 were 0.38 (r1) and 1.45 (r2) (FR), 0.38 (r1) and 1.46 (r2) (IFR), 0.38 (r1) and 1.43 (r2) (KT), and 0.38 (r1) and 1.45 (r2) (ML). Hydrogel copolymers exhibited good thermal stability, and SEM showed three-dimensional porous structures. Antibiotic-free and antibiotic-loaded hydrogels demonstrated antimicrobial properties against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. As the ratio of DMA in hydrogel copolymer increased, the activity of copolymer against bacteria enhanced. The results indicated that these hydrogels have the potential to be used as antibacterial materials.

Section: Nn-dimethylacrylamide Hydrogels For Enhancing Mechanical Properties Of the Materialsmentioning
Scientists have been encouraged to find different methods for removing harmful heavy metal ions and dyes from bodies of water. The adsorption technique offers promising outcomes for heavy metal ion removal and is simple to run on a large scale, making it appropriate for practical applications. Many adsorbent hydrogels have been developed and reported, comprising N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA)-based hydrogels, which have attracted a lot of interest due to their reusability, simplicity of synthesis, and processing. DMAA hydrogels are also a suitable choice for self-healing materials and materials with good mechanical properties. This review work discusses the recent studies of DMAA-based hydrogels such as hydrogels for dye removal and the removal of hazardous heavy metal ions from water. Furthermore, there are also references about their conduct for self-healing materials and for enhancing mechanical properties.
“…Among them, poly(acrylamide)-based hydrogel has been applied in many areas including dye removal [12], heavy-metal removal [13], film making [14], tissue engineering [15], smart polymers [16], and linear polymers [17]. An N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) is an N-substituted dimethyl acrylamide monomer that produces such hydrogels as crosslinked by various crosslinkers.…”
In this work, a hydrogel system was produced via radical polymerization of N,N-dimethylacrylamide and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid in the presence of N,N-methylene-bis-acrylamide as a crosslinker and ammonium persulfate as an initiator. Parameters that impact the conversion of copolymerization (such as initial concentration of monomers, temperature, initiator dose, and time) were studied. The swelling degree of the hydrogel was investigated with the addition of a crosslinker and initiator at different pH levels. A hydrogel with high conversion and high swelling degree was selected to investigate their ability for adsorption of Pb(II) ions from solutions. Adsorption behavior of Pb(II) ions in a hydrogel was examined as a function of reaction time and concentration of lead ions from a solution of Pb(II) ions.
