States of Water in Hydrogels Containing with Glyceryl Methacrylate
摘要
Hydrogel materials were prepared by thermopolymerization with different content of glyceryl methacrylate and hydroxyethyl methacrylate. The different states of water in swelling hydrogels were described and studied by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). It was found that the hydrophilicity of GMA was stronger than HEMA,the water content and bound water of GMA hydrogel are higher than HEMA hydrogel.With the increase of GMA content, the content of free water in hydrogel increased. When GMA content was lower than 50%, the increase of GMA content also increased the content of bound water; but when GMA content was higher than 50%, the increase of GMA content decreased the content of bound water, which was caused by the chain hydrogen bond formed on the GMA chain with hydroxyl group each other.更多还原
