Fabrication and temperature/solvent responsive properties of adamantane-modified thermosensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) copolymer-based composite hydrogels

  • 摘要: 为了改善聚(N-异丙基丙烯酰胺)(PNIPAm)基水凝胶的相变温度范围和响应速度,实现其响应行为的动态可调控性,本研究通过自由基聚合反应将N-异丙基丙烯酰胺(NIPAM)单体与2-甲基-2金刚烷基甲基丙烯酸酯(Ad-MA)修饰单体共聚,成功合成了一系列不同Ad-MA单元共聚比率(1.1%~5.06%)的金刚烷修饰聚(N-异丙基丙烯酰胺)共聚物(PNIPAm-co-MA-Ad),并通过红外光谱(FT-IR)、核磁氢谱(1H NMR)和元素分析等分析手段证实了聚合物的分子结构和实际共聚比率。以N,N-亚甲基双丙烯酰胺(MBA)为化学交联剂,NIPAM为主要单体,成功构筑了一系列具有良好孔隙结构、热稳定性和机械性能的三维网状结构的金刚烷修饰聚(N-异丙基丙烯酰胺)共聚物基复合水凝胶(PNIPAm-co-MA-Ad CH)。为进一步拓展其功能可调性,引入小分子主体β-环糊精(β-CD),利用β-CD与金刚烷基团(-Ad)之间的主客体识别作用,成功构筑了PNIPAm-co-MA-Ad/β-CD CH体系,并通过FT-IR及等温滴定量热技术证实了二者之间存在明确的主客体识别作用。最后,初步证实了PNIPAm-co-MA-Ad CH复合水凝胶具有良好的温度和溶剂诱导的光学可调行为。而且β-CD的加入改变了PNIPAm-co-MA-Ad CH中 PNIPAm-co-MA-Ad的亲疏水性,实现了对复合水凝胶温度/溶剂响应特性的二次动态调控。这为后续探究PNIPAm基复合水凝胶溶剂响应和温度响应机理,以及将其应用于加密、解密和记录的信息处理模型的构筑提供了可靠的研究基础。

     

    Abstract: To improve the phase transition temperature range and response rate of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm)-based hydrogels and to achieve dynamic tunability of their response behavior, a series of adamantane-modified poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) copolymers (PNIPAm-co-MA-Ad) with varying Ad-MA copolymerization ratio (1.1%–5.06%) were successfully synthesized via free radical copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) with the 2-methyl-2-adamantyl methacrylate (Ad-MA) modified monomer. The molecular structure and actual copolymerization ratios of the resulting polymers were confirmed through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), and elemental analysis. Using N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a chemical crosslinker and NIPAM as the main monomer, a series of PNIPAm-co-MA-Ad-based composite hydrogels (PNIPAm-co-MA-Ad CH) with well-defined three-dimensional network structures, good porosity, thermal stability, and mechanical properties were successfully constructed. To further extend the functional tunability, the small-molecule host β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was introduced, and the PNIPAm-co-MA-Ad/β-CD CH system was successfully fabricated via host–guest recognition between β-CD and adamantane groups (-Ad). The existence of specific host–guest interactions was confirmed by FT-IR and isothermal titration calorimetry. Finally, it was preliminarily demonstrated that the PNIPAm-co-MA-Ad CH composite hydrogels exhibited favorable temperature- and solvent-induced optically tunable behavior. Moreover, the addition of β-CD altered the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity balance of PNIPAm-co-MA-Ad within the composite hydrogels, enabling secondary dynamic regulation of the temperature/solvent response characteristics. This work provides a reliable research foundation for further investigation of the solvent- and temperature-responsive mechanisms of PNIPAm-based composite hydrogels and their application in the fabrication of information processing models for encryption, decryption, and recording.
