| Abstract |
Stimuli-responsive polymers, which can change their microstructures triggered by environmental stimuli, can be used in shape memory materials because of the fact that the structural changes from the external stimuli can be recovered to their original shapes in a controllable manner. Sodium alginate is one of polysaccharides that can be easily functionalized by several coupling reactions such as amination to carboxylate groups. Also, sodium alginate is well-known for capturing divalent ions giving rise to gelation. In this study, allyl-functionalized alginates were synthesized and subsequently N-isopropylamine (NIPAM)-containing alginate hydrogels were prepared by UV-mediated crosslinking via radical reaction. The pNIPAM-crosslinked alginate hydrogels showed different swelling ratios depending on the amount of NIPAM, pH, temperature and several metal cations. The morphology of the hydrogels was investigated by SEM images. Also, the ion-promoted crosslinking showed shape-programming properties with temperature cycling. Several analytical techniques such as IR and rheology were attempted to elucidate the mechanism of shape memory |
