Synthesis and characterization of poly(N‐vinyl imidazole) hydrogels crosslinked by gamma irradiation

Abstract: Crosslinked poly(N‐vinyl imidazole) (PVIm) hydrogels in the form of rods have been prepared by 60Co γ‐radiation initiated simultaneous polymerization and crosslinking of N‐vinyl imidazole in bulk and water. In binary aqueous systems, the percentage gelation decreased with increasing water content. The PVIm hydrogels synthesized were further protonated in HCl solutions of different concentration. PVIm and protonated PVIm (H‐PVIm) hydrogels have been characterized using spectroscopic and thermal methods, and the… Show more

“…Two factors could be effective in causing such a decrease: first, the formation of a gel might decrease with chain scission at high-dose applications in aqueous systems, and second, the probability of combining macroradicals decreases with increasing water content. 26 For further studies on PtBAEMA hydrogels, the composition with a tBAEMA/water volume ratio of 100/0 was selected as the optimum system because of its dimensional stability, geometry, gelation, and swelling properties. Thus, PtBAEMA hydrogels were prepared by the irradiation of solutions with the 100/0 composition at a dose of 100 kGy, which gave the maximum gelation of 85%.…”

“…This is particularly important for the charging of a polymer matrix with a drug solution or for biomedical and environmental applications. 26 Hydrogels can be synthesized appropriately to achieve the desired response to a given environmental condition. Parameters such as the polymer composition, degree of crosslinking density, and size and nature of the incorporated drug molecule play important roles in determining the drug release behavior and thus must be considered during the design of swellingcontrolled release devices.…”

“…The obtained IR spectra of PMPS and PVI are corresponding to the previous publications. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] The IR spectrum of PMPS shows its characteristic vibrational features at 2841 (C-H stretching in OCH 3 ), 1729 (C=O stretching), 1460 (CH 2 bending), 1085 (Si-O-C asymmetric stretching), and 980 cm −1 (Si-O-Si bending).…”

“…The weight loss below 100 °C is mainly due to the loss of water. Then, the significant weight loss at 300- 400°C is attributed to the elimination of sulfonyl group in SDF-F 4 and the degradation of VI rings 17,18 and MPS.…”
