Development and characterization of thermosensitive hydrogels based on poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) and calcium alginate

Abstract: This work refers to the synthesis and characterization of thermosensitive hydrogels based on interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) and calcium alginate in the form of films. The influence of the crosslinking degree of PNIPAAm and alginate content on thermal, swelling, mechanical, and morphological properties of hydrogels is investigated in detail. Characterization of pure PNIPAAm hydrogels and IPN hydrogels was performed by FTIR, DSC, DMA, and SEM. In addition, the s… Show more

“…This is because the hydrogen bonding interaction between N-H and −COO − groups makes the C=O bond stronger by disturbing the symmetry of carboxylate ion, which confirms the strong hydrogen bond interaction between the constituents of the blend (9,26,27). In the case of INZ, peaks between 3,100-3,000 cm −1 and 2,990-2,900 cm −1 correspond to respective asymmetric and symmetric stretching vibrations of the C-H bond, while the N-H stretching vibration is observed at 3,247 cm −1 .…”

“…The combination of CA with cross-linked PNIPAAm results in hydrogel with a more regular structure, adequate mechanical properties, and swelling/deswelling rate when compared to the structure of each of its components [31]. The phenomenon is explained by the formation of a porous structure within the hydrogels in the presence of ionized alginate during the polymerization process.…”

“…In a similar vein, alginate-based thermosensitive PNIPAAm IPNs have shown similar properties at around 40 °C, which is explained by the reduced chain mobility in the networks. [42,43]…”
