The aim of this project is to fabricate UV-crosslinked hydrogel film with the tailored chemical and physical properties that can be utilized as scaffold. Three series of UV-crosslinked poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate/ poly(dimethylsiloxane) dimethacrylate (PEGDA/PDMS-MA) hydrogels were fabricatedby exposing the precursor solutions under UV chamber that provides a spectral range of UVA at average intensity of 40<em>W/cm</em><sup>2</sup>. Equilibrium swelling ratio (ESR) was found higher in the UV-crosslinked hydrogels that exposed to the UV at shorter time, with lower loading of PDMS-MA, and higher molecular weight of PEGDA. The concentration of photoinitiator was found to haveinsignificant effect on ESR%. Whereas, dynamic contact angle (DCA) measurement revealed that the hydrophilicity was higher forPEGDA UV-crosslinked hydrogels with higher ratio. Besides, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA)showed that the incorporation of PDMS-MA reduced the average value of compressive modulus of the UV-crosslinked hydrogels. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis showed that lower glass transition temperature (<em>T</em><sub><em>g</em></sub>) of PDMS-MA could be related to the reduction of stiffness in UV-crosslinked hydrogels. It was found that the fabricated UV-crosslinked hydrogels were suited to cartilage tissue engineering application due to similar properties to the cartilage tissue.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20431,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Chemistry","volume":"19 ","pages":"Pages 410-418"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.proche.2016.03.032","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79393157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After a while a pH-sensitive indicator bromocresol purple (BCP) and surfactant were incorporate into the sol-gel mixture. The percentage of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) which act as surfactant were varied to observe the effect of improving host material's nanostructure as well as the interaction between BCP and sol-gel matrices. The absorption peak of the BCP dye changed significantly in the presence of surfactant compared to pure VTES: TEOS mixture (control) in the range of 400 to 450<!--> <!-->nm. The presence of BCP dye in the sol-gel mixture can be determined via FTIR spectrum with a =C–H stretch in aromatics observed at 3100-3000 cm<sup>-1</sup> which represented the aromatic of the BCP structure. The addition of BCP and surfactant had influenced the FTIR spectra of VTES: TEOS sol-gel materials. Addition of an anionic surfactant to the sol-gel mixtures was found to increase the BCP dye and the sol-gel matrices interaction, thus reducing the dye's tendency to leach. This work shows that sol-gel derived matrices yield dyes with sufficient rigid environment and addition of the surfactant helps to improve the interaction of filler matrices. The anionic SDS shows better leaching resistant compared to non-ionic PEG surfactant. Results of this study offer an attractive possibility to optimize the doped sol gel matrices to be used as sensing material in aqueous condition.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20431,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Chemistry","volume":"19 ","pages":"Pages 275-282"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.proche.2016.03.007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89509195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
