Ionic-Strength Responsive Zwitterionic Copolymer Hydrogels with Tunable Swelling and Adsorption Behaviors

In this work, we studied the swelling behavior and adsorption behavior of zwitterionic copolymer hydrogels, which were prepared via the free radical copolymerization of sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) and other monomers including sodium p-styrenesulfonate (NaSS), acrylic acid, N-isopropylacrylamide...

Zusammenfassung:In this work, we studied the swelling behavior and adsorption behavior of zwitterionic copolymer hydrogels, which were prepared via the free radical copolymerization of sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) and other monomers including sodium p-styrenesulfonate (NaSS), acrylic acid, N-isopropylacrylamide, and 2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate. The PSBMA hydrogel showed increased swelling ratio with the increase of ionic strength at the same temperature, and the swelling process reflected endothermicity. Interestingly, the PSBMA-NaSS hydrogels collapsed when the ionic strength increased because the ions can weaken the repulsive interaction of the anionic groups of PNaSS. In addition, the PSBMA-NaSS showed high adsorption of methylene blue (760 mg/g). The zwitterionic hydrogels have potential to be used as an adsorbent in the field of wastewater treatment
