Then, supramolecular-structured hydrogels were prepared from the polyseudorotaxanes in a mixed solvent of H 2O and DMSO via in-situ polymerization photoinitiated under UV. The structure and properties of the supramolecular-structured hydrogels were characterized by FTIR, TGA and WAXD. The results showed that α-CDs were threaded and immobilized on the network of the hydrogel by rapid photopolymerization, and the feed ratio of α-CDs affected the structure of hydrogels, water absorption, the distribution and states of water, etc..展开更多

文摘Well-dispersed multi-walled cabon nanotubes(MWCNTs) were successfully incorporated into a supramolecular hydrogel through combining dual roles of poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly[(2-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate](PEG-b-PDMAEMA) copolymer in dispersing MWCNTs and forming inclusion complexes with α-cyclodextrin(α-CD).Rheological behaviors of supramolecular hydrogels were investigated.The resultant hybrid hydrogels were found to be shear thinning and could be applied as a promising injectable drug delivery system.The mechanical strength of the hybrid hydrogels was greatly improved in comparison with that of the corresponding native hydrogels.
