Time-dependent mechanical characterization of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogels using nanoindentation and unconfined compression.
Hydrogels pose unique challenges to nanoindentation including sample preparation, control of experimental parameters, and limitations imposed by mechanical testing instruments and data analysis originally intended for harder materials. The artifacts that occur during nanoindentation of hydrated samples have been described, but the material properties obtained from hydrated nanoindentation have ...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of pH and temperature responsive poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-acrylamide) hydrogels
Acrylamide/2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate hydrogels were prepared by simultaneous radiation-induced cross-linking copolymerization of acrylamide (AAm), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and water mixtures at a radiation dose of 10 kGy. Hydrogels were characterized by infrared spectroscopy. Dynamic and equilibrium swelling of hydrogels in water and in buffer solutions were investigated. They were ...
متن کاملTailoring the swelling pressure of degrading dextran hydroxyethyl methacrylate hydrogels.
Swelling pressure measurements were performed on degrading dextran hydroxyethyl methacrylate (dex-HEMA) hydrogels. In these networks, the cross-links are hydrolyzable carbonate ester bonds formed between methacrylate groups and dextran molecules. It is demonstrated that dex-HEMA gels made in the presence of a known amount of free dextran chains exhibit osmotic properties similar to those of par...
متن کامل2,3-Dihydroxypropyl methacrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate hydrogels: gel structure and transport properties
The drying kinetics were examined in four cross-linked polymers that form hydrogels: 2,3-Dihydroxypropyl methacrylate (DHPMA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and two random copolymers, with one-to-one and three-to-one HEMA-to-DHPMA molar ratios. The hydrogels were saturated with buffered, isotonic saline solution and deionized water; weight loss kinetics were monitored at temperatures fr...
متن کاملIntra and intermolecular relaxations 2,3-dihydroxypropyl methacrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate hydrogels
The dynamic mechanical transitions present in the 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and 2,3-dihydroxypropyl methacrylate (DHPMA) homopolymers and two random copolymers, with one-to-one and three-to-one HEMA-to-DHPMA molar ratios, were examined by analyzing the dry xerogels and hydrogels at various states of hydration. The temperatures of the primary a transition and the secondary b and g trans...
