Abstract
Thermoresponsive graft copolymers were synthesized. Thermally induced properties were introduced by grafting poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) side chains onto a sodium alginate backbone. The resulting graft copolymers cover a broad range in PNIPAM composition and molecular weight. Remarkable thermothickening behavior in water and 0.1 M NaCl is observed by viscometry when the temperature, concentration, weight ratio of PNIPAM side chains to backbone, and PNIPAM molecular weight are higher than certain critical values. This behavior is reversible and could have applications in oil rigs and drug delivery systems.
合成了热响应接枝共聚物。通过将聚n -异丙基丙烯酰胺(PNIPAM)侧链接枝到海藻酸钠骨架上,引入了热诱导性质。所得到的接枝共聚物在PNIPAM组成和分子量上覆盖了广泛的范围。当温度、浓度、PNIPAM侧链与主链的质量比、PNIPAM分子量均高于某一临界值时,PNIPAM在水和0.1 M NaCl中表现出显著的热增稠行为。这种行为是可逆的,可以应用于石油钻井平台和药物输送系统。
期刊介绍:
Carbohydrate Polymers stands as a prominent journal in the glycoscience field, dedicated to exploring and harnessing the potential of polysaccharides with applications spanning bioenergy, bioplastics, biomaterials, biorefining, chemistry, drug delivery, food, health, nanotechnology, packaging, paper, pharmaceuticals, medicine, oil recovery, textiles, tissue engineering, wood, and various aspects of glycoscience.
The journal emphasizes the central role of well-characterized carbohydrate polymers, highlighting their significance as the primary focus rather than a peripheral topic. Each paper must prominently feature at least one named carbohydrate polymer, evident in both citation and title, with a commitment to innovative research that advances scientific knowledge.
