Dynamics of Cyclodimerization and Viscoelasticity of PhotoCrosslinkable PVA
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigated the interfacial properties of poly(vinyl alcohol) carrying UV-crosslinkable pendant quaternized stilbazole (styrylpyridinium), PVA-SbQ. The extent and dynamics of PVA-SbQ cyclodimerization reactions and crosslinking induced by UV irradiation were monitored in situ and in real time by quartz crystal microgravimetry (QCM). Sensograms reflecting time-dependent changes in density and viscoelasticity of crosslinking films followed a Boltzmann sigmoidal model, depending on precursor film composition and irradiation power. The shifts in QCM frequency and energy dissipation upon PVA-SbQ cyclodimerization correlated with three photo-crosslinking phases involving soft-to-rigid transitions, namely, induction (initiation), main crosslinking (interaction), and termination. PVA-SbQ films crosslinked to different degree were used as protein carriers and a slower release profile was determined for the films that underwent more extensive crosslinking. Overall, this study demonstrates for the first time the dynamics of PVA-SbQ crosslinking and its impact in system viscoelasticity and protein release. VC 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

We report the formation of mesoporous organohydrogels from oil-in-water nanoemulsions containing an end-functionalized oligomeric gelator in the aqueous phase. The nanoemulsions exhibit an abrupt thermoreversible transition from a low-viscosity liquid to a fractal-like colloidal gel of droplets with mesoscale porosity and solid-like viscoelasticity with moduli approaching 100 kPa, possibly the ...

The generalized coupled thermo-viscoelasticity of hollow sphere subjected to thermal symmetric shock load is presented in this paper. To overcome the infinite speed of thermal wave propagation, the Lord-Shulman theory is considered. Two coupled equations, namely, the radial equation of motion and the energy equation of a hollow sphere are obtained in dimensionless form. Resulting equations are ...
