To develop a hydrogel sensor system using the Hall effect to detect the degree of swelling, gels containing high concentrations of magnetic particles are necessary to induce a strong magnetic field. For this purpose, hydrogels based on poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) cross‐linked with Laponite XLS are modified with various magnetic nanoparticles. The focus of this work is to introduce high particle densities with a homogeneous distribution into the gel. Particles are coated with 3‐(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate to bind them into the network structure. The swelling behavior and temperature response of gels containing pure and modified particles are compared to the unmodified clay gel. Ferrogels are further synthesized in a magnetic field to permanently align magnetic nanoparticles in the network. This results in permanently embedded rod‐like structures spanning the entire length of the gel. The influence of this anisotropic distribution on the mechanical properties of the hydrogel is investigated through compression measurements.
Zusammenfassung
Die Ayurveda-Medizin verf?gt ?ber ein reichhaltiges Arsenal an
Therapieoptionen bei Schmerz- und Ersch?pfungssyndromen. Das
umfangreichste Whole Medical System S?dasiens ist in Diagnose und
Therapie grunds?tzlich individuell ausgerichtet. Die ayurvedischen
Behand?lungsans?tze beim Fibromyalgiesyndrom (FMS) fu?en
insbesondere auf einer Milieukorrektur des kinetisch-katabolen
vata-Prinzips und sind in ihren Herangehensweisen axiomatisch
multimodal. Im komplexen und regulativ arbeitenden Ayurveda kommen
ma?geschneiderte Therapieans?tze unter Miteinbeziehung von
Ern?hrungs- und Verhaltenstherapie, Phytotherapie, manuellen
Behandlungen, ausleitenden Verfahren sowie Yoga und Meditation zum
Einsatz.
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.
