Abstract:A temperature-sensitive hydrogel with the capability of inclusion complex formation with guest molecules was successfully grafted onto the surface of nonwoven polypropylene (nonwoven PP). This was carried out by the use of N-isopropylacrylamide monomer and a modified cyclodextrin (acrylamidomethyl-b-cyclodextrin (b-CD-NMA)). Fourier-transform infra red (FT-IR) and elemental analyses confirmed the presence of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) and b-CD-NMA components on the surface of the textile. Equilibriu… Show more
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.
