Swelling Behaviors of pH- and Salt-Responsive Cellulose-Based Hydrogels
Abstract
Ampholytic hydrogels with pH and salt responsive properties have been synthesized by cross-linking quaternized cellulose (QC) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with epichlorohydrin (ECH) in NaOH aqueous solution. The swelling behaviors of the QC/CMC hydrogels were studied as a function of the polymer composition, pH, and salt concentration. The equilibrium swelling ratio of the hydrogel in ultrapure water strongly depended on the composition, and increased dramatically from 8.6 to 498 g/g with the change of the weight ratio of QC to CMC from 3:1 to 1:3 (w/w). The hydrogel (Gel32) consisted of QC and CMC in the ratio of 3:2 (w/w) had the minimum swelling ratio, and it was electrically neutral. The results from ζ-potential experiments were in good agreement with the theoretically calculated stoichiometry for balanced charge, confirming that the weight ratio of QC and CMC was 1.5, corresponding to Gel32. Furthermore, all hydrogels exhibited excellent pH sensitivity in the range of pH from 1 to 13 and shrunk significantly at pH 12 on the whole. The hydrogels displayed smart swelling behaviors in NaCl, CaCl 2, and FeCl 3 aqueous solutions. The results revealed that CMC mainly contributed to increasing the swelling as a result of strong water adsorption, whereas QC played a role in the controlling of the charges in the QC/CMC system, leading to the pH sensitivity.

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.
