Abstract
The present study aimed to develop a mechanically enhanced and biocompatible adhesive hydrogel utilizing acrylic acid and agar. N, N-methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) and tannic acid (TA) were employed as chemical and physical crosslinkers, respectively. The structural and chemical characteristics of the hydrogel were confirmed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, verifying its successful Synthesis via free radical polymerization. Rheological analyses, including frequency sweep, amplitude sweep, and creep recovery tests, were conducted to assess the viscoelastic and adhesive properties of the hydrogel. The findings revealed that specific polymeric chain interaction governed the adhesive behavior of the hydrogel. Furthermore, varying concentrations of tannic acid were investigated to determine their influence on adhesive performance, with results indicating that increasing TA concentration significantly enhanced adhesive properties. The adhesion strength followed the order: 36.8 > 21.06 > 13.04 > 7.75 > 4.31 kPa for TA ranging from 0.025 to 0 g, respectively. The synthesized hydrogel demonstrate superior approach, cost-effectiveness, high efficiency, and biodegradable nature which highlights their potential as an advanced adhesive material for future applications.
