摘要
Poly(methacrylic acid co-poloxamer) hydrogel networks were synthesized by free radical solution polymerization and their equilibrium swelling and solute permeation properties were characterized. These gels exhibited pH dependant swelling and solute diffusivity due to the formation or disruption of hydrogen bonded complexation between methacrylic acid (MAA) and etheric (EO). In neutral and basic conditions (above the swelling transition pH), the copolymer swelling was greatly higher than acid condition. In complexed hydrogels, the diffusion coefficients of vitamin B12 (VB12) were in the range of 10-10 to 10-7 cm2s-1; While in uncomplexed hydrogels, the values were about 210-6 cm2s-1. The comonomer composition and synthesis conditions have great effect on the structure, and thereby, swelling and solute diffusion characteristics of the resultant hydrogels. For the copolymers with composition of less than or more than 1:1 MAA/EO molar ratio, the plot of lnD vs 1/H-1 followed two different linear equations of 慺ree volume theory? respectively.
以自由基溶液聚合方法制备了聚(甲基丙烯酸-co-泊洛沙姆)共聚物水凝胶,研究凝胶的平衡溶胀性质及模型药物(VB12)在溶胀和收缩状态水凝胶中的扩散性质。随着甲基丙烯酸与泊洛沙姆中乙氧基单元氢键络合的形成和解离,水凝胶表现出pH敏感的溶胀性质和药物扩散性质。酸性介质中凝胶的平衡溶胀率低;中性和碱性时(介质pH高于凝胶溶胀转变的pH),凝胶的平衡溶胀率急剧增大。络合状态水凝胶中,VB12的扩散系数在10-10 to 10-7 cm2s-1范围;而溶胀状态时,VB12的扩散系数在210-6 cm2s-1左右。聚合反应条件以及共聚单体的组成等对水凝胶的结构和溶胀性质、溶质的扩散性质明显影响。凝胶的平衡溶胀率与溶质的扩散系数之间的关系可以用自由体积理论描述,对于甲基丙烯酸和乙氧基的摩尔比>1和<1的水凝胶,lnD与1/H-1分别符合不同的线性方程。
