Swelling Behavior of Carboxymethylcellulose Hydrogels in Relation to Cross-Linking, pH, and Charge Density

Barbucci, Rolando, Magnani, Agnese, Consumi, Marco·2000·Macromolecules

Abstract

Hydrogels of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) with 2.5%, 25%, 50%, and 100% cross-linking were prepared. Cross-linking and stoichiometry was controlled by appropriate addition of CMPJ and determined by potentiometric titration. The cross-linked polymer was then sulfated using a sulfur trioxide−pyridine complex (SO 3 −Py) in a heterogeneous mixture. Water uptake of the gels was studied in relation to cross-linking, pH, and sulfation. FT-IR spectra of the gels were recorded at different pHs to evidence the hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds formation between the chains may explain the correlation found between water uptake properties and the chemical composition of the gels.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
