“…The release time of the drug could be prolonged by increasing the amount of HEMA. 27 In this manuscript, free radical polymerization and physical crosslinking were adopted to prepare polyvinyl alcohol/polyacrylamide/polycarboxybetaine ester (PVA/PAM/PCBMAE) double network hydrogel. The antibacterial properties and antiprotein adsorption properties of the gel were studied.…”

This paper proposes a cationic double-network hydrogel, which has good electrical conductivity, antibacterial properties, antiprotein adsorption, and mechanical properties. The cationic polymer formed a conductive path in the hydrogel network, so that the gel had good conductivity. With the increase of carboxybetaine ester, the conductivity gradually increases. As a sensor, hydrogel could respond quickly to strains such as stretching and bending. In addition, the hydrogel showed excellent antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli, the antibacterial rate can reach up to 99%. After hydrolysis, the hydrogel showed stable antiprotein adsorption performance. The tensile strength of the gel could reach 1.05 MPa, and the elongation at break was 474.31%. Therefore, this gel may be used for dressing and electronic skin. And the morphology of the hydrogel was characterized by FT-IR, X-ray diffraction, and SEM.
