摘要
A new heterogeneous, thermally reversible hydrogel has been synthesized by γ-irradiation of solutions of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) and bis-vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (VTPDMS). The heterogeneous hydrogel exhibits the same lower critical solution temperature (LCST) as the homopolymer of NIPAAm. The gel prepared with a 50% NIPAAm and 50% VTPDMS solution shows a surprisingly fast rate of shrinking when heated through the LCST. The result of differential scanning calorimetry confirms the existence of a microdomain structure in the gel. The effect of irradiation dose and crosslink concentration on the resultant, calculated crosslink density has been studied. The gel swells to a great extent in either water or ethanol, permitting a high loading of either hydrophilic or hydrophobic drugs. Zero-order release of progesterone from the gel has been observed. © 1990.
