The main goal is to adapt these materials for biological applications. This work contributes to designing an adhesive polymeric system based on hydrophilic polymers using vinyl monomers via radical polymerization. The hydrogels were produced via free radical polymerization in an aqueous environment, with variations in the initial experimental conditions, including different ratios of initial monomers and the cross-linking agent. This was done to analyze the strength of the self-adhesive bond of synthetic hydrogels for potential biological applications. The functional groups of the hydrophilic monomers were employed to explore possible chemical modifications in the environment (adhesive properties) through physical interactions, such as hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces between the polymer chains. This could allow for the incorporation of active biomolecules, potentially enhancing physical bonding through hydrogen bridges between polymer chains. These hydrogels have been characterized by their thermal stability, swelling behavior, and adhesive strength in a wet medium. The hydrogel demonstrated the highest adhesive strength at a 2:1 feed monomer ratio with 0.5 mol-% of <em>N</em>'<em>N</em>-methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) in a damp medium, indicating significantly improved adhesive properties compared to other MBA percentages. Moreover, a reduction in hydrogel swelling correlated with enhanced adhesion, showing more than a 6.5-fold increase in adhesion compared to the 1:1 feed monomer ratio at 0.5 mol-% MBA and an 18-fold increase compared to the 1:1 feed monomer ratio at 0.1 mol-% MBA.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20916,"journal":{"name":"Reactive & Functional Polymers","volume":"213 ","pages":"Article 106264"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143643364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Acrylate monomers were dispersed in water to prepare an oil-in-water high internal phase emulsion, which was subsequently subjected to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation for 3 min to prepare the microsphere with high yield. To template the porous structure, cyclohexane, a poor solvent for the polymer, was introduced into the initial monomer oil phase, and its influence on the evolution of porous morphology was systematically investigated.

The modification progress was monitored, and the final UiO@PPGMA microspheres were comprehensively characterized. Based on adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics, the microsphere containing only 2.78 % UiO-66-NH<sub>2</sub> exhibits significantly enhanced adsorption rate and capacity, which can be attributed to the in-situ grown UiO-66-NH<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles. Furthermore, the UiO@PPGMA microsphere can be easily regenerated, allowing it to be packed in a column for cyclic fixed-bed adsorption.

However, it induces a trade-off between thermoplasticity and thermal dimensional stability as well as mechanical property.

As for thermoplasticity, flexible linkages such as ether and ketone enhance the movability of polymer chains, and copolymerization weakens the intermolecular interaction between polymer chains to some extent. Furthermore, the incorporation of Ph-BiAmMe promotes denser chain packing and stronger CTC effect, thereby maintaining good thermal dimensional stability and mechanical properties.
