Surfactant and Metal Ion Effects on the Mechanical Properties of Alginate Hydrogels
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016)
This paper addresses the controlled variation of the mechanical properties of alginate gel beads by changing the alginate concentration or by adding different surfactants or cross-linking cations. Alginate beads containing ...
Critical Exponents of Gelation and Conductivity in Polyacrylamide Gels Doped by Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010)
Polyacrylamide (PAM) doped by multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) gels were prepared with different amounts of MWNTs varying in the range between 0.1 and 15 wt%. The PAM-MWNT composite gels were characterized by the steady ...
Studies on Drying and Swelling of PAAm-NIPA Composites in Various Compositions
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)
The steady-state fluorescence technique was introduced for studying the drying and swelling of disc-shaped PAAm-NIPA composites. Disc-shaped gels were formed with various acrylamides (AAm) and N-isopropylacrylamides (NIPA) ...
Elasticity Study of PAAm-kappa C Composite Prepared in Various kappa C Content and Measured at Several Temperatures
(Polish Acad Sciences Inst Physics, 2015)
Polyacrylamide (PAAm)-kappa carrageenan (kappa C) composite gels were prepared via free radical crosslinking copolymerization with various (w/v) percentages of kappa C in the range between 0.5 and 3 (w/v)% of kappa C . ...
Universality of elasticity on PAAM-NIPA copolymer gels
(EDP Sciences, 2015)
Polyacrylamide (PAAm)-N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) copolymers were prepared via free radical crosslinking copolymerization with different molar of NIPA varying in the range between 0 and 2 M. The mechanical properties of ...
Effect of LCST on the swelling of PAAm-NIPA copolymers: a fluorescence study
(Springer, 2012)
Temperature sensitive copolymers were prepared by free radical crosslinking copolymerization in aqueous solution with different molar percentage of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) and acrylamide (AAm) monomers. NN'-methylenebis ...
Monitoring the gelation of polyacrylamide-sodium alginate composite by fluorescence technique
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012)
Polyacrylamide (PAAm)-sodium alginate (SA) composite was prepared with different amounts of SA varying in the range between 0.06% and 2% (w/v). The PAAm-SA composite was characterized by the steady-state fluorescence ...
Elastic percolation of swollen polyacrylamide (PAAm)-multiwall carbon nanotubes composite
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012)
Polyacrylamide (PAAm)-multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) composites were prepared via free radical cross-linking copolymerization with different amounts of MWNTs varying in the range between 0.1 and 50 wt%. The mechanical ...
Phase Transitions in Pure and Hybrid Hydrogels: A Fluorescence Study
(Wiley, 2009)
Recent observations on phase transitions around the critical point showed that the critical exponents differed drastically from percolation results and classical results for pure hydrogel systems depending on monomer ...
A Fluorescence Study on Swelling of Hydrogels (PAAm) at Various Cross-Linker Contents
(Wiley, 2009)
Disk-shaped acrylamide (AAm) gels were prepared from AAm with various NN'-methylenebisacrylamide (Bis) contents as cross-linker in the presence of ammonium persulfate as an initiator by free-radical cross-linking ...
