The hydrogel was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The results confirmed its highly porous three-dimensional network structure. The swelling test of hydrogel proved that it had excellent swelling and p H-sensitive properties. The increasing PAMAM content or quaternization degree led to the increase in swelling properties. And the hydrogel with lower cross-linking agent concentration or quaternary ammonium chitosan concentration exhibited better swelling properties. The antibacterial results indicated that with the increase in the PAMAM content, quaternary ammonium chitosan concentration or cross-linking agent concentration, the hydrogels showed better antibacterial activities against both Staphylococcus aureus(S. aureus) and Escherichia coli(E. coli). Thus, the hydrogel could serve as a promising antibacterial material in the future.展开更多

The potassium persulfate(KPS), N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide(MBA) were used as the initiator and crosslinker, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) were used to confirm the porous network structure of superabsorbent hydrogel. The effects of reaction parameters on the swelling behaviors of the superabsorbent hydrogels were investigated. The results indicated that water absorbency increased first, and then decreased gradually with the increase in the contents of monomer(AA+AM), KPS, MBA or acrylamide. The product had excellent water absorbency of 1375 g/g in distilled water and 83 g/g in 0.9wt% NaCl solution. Simultaneously, the superabsorbent hydrogels were p H sensitive. The antibacterial activities of the hydrogels against Escherichia coli(E. coli) were improved effectively because of polyamidoamine(PAMAM) dendrimer absorbed in the hydrogels.展开更多
