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

The bacteriostasis ratios of NSCS-Fs against E. coli, S. aureus and C. albicans were higher than 80%. No cytotoxicity has been found for mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) treated with NSCS-Fs leach liquor, Acute oral toxicity and skin irritation experiment were taken to evaluate the safety of NSCS-Fs in vitro. Muscle implant study showed that NSCS-Fs were biodegradable and non-toxic in vivo. These results suggested that the surface modified NSCS-Fs had favorable biological properties and improved liquor absorptivity, indicating that they could be used as promising dressing materials for wound care.展开更多
