摘要
The structure of environment-sensitive gels consisting of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (NIPA/AAc) hydrogels was investigated by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). Effects of the variation of ionic circumstance were observed both on the volume phase transition and on the structure factors: (1) The volume phase transition temperature, T-c, increases with increasing pH from 4 to 9 and then decreases with further increasing pH. (2) the volume gap between the shrunken and swollen gels at T-c is highest around pH 7 to 9. (3) Though the structure factor, I(q), has a maximum above the T-c of the corresponding NIPA homopolymer gels, the peak intensity decreases with increasing pH, where q is the magnitude of the scattering vector. When NaCl is added, a similar scattering maximum appears for T > T-c. However, strong ionic screening leads to a lower swelling power and a decrease in T-c, resulting in precipitation at a lower temperature than for the gel at a moderate pH. The roles of pH and salt are discussed on the basis of Donnan membrane equilibrium. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
