Features of the Interaction of Alcian Blue with Gels Based on Copolymer of N-Vinylcaprolactam and Methacrylic Acid

The interaction of N -vinylcaprolactam–methacrylic acid copolymer hydrogel and N -vinylcaprolactam homopolymer hydrogel with alcian blue in aqueous solutions is studied. It is shown that copolymer gel are thermo- and pH-sensitive. Dye sorption by the copolymer gel and gel swelling degree depends on...

Description
Summary:The interaction of N -vinylcaprolactam–methacrylic acid copolymer hydrogel and N -vinylcaprolactam homopolymer hydrogel with alcian blue in aqueous solutions is studied. It is shown that copolymer gel are thermo- and pH-sensitive. Dye sorption by the copolymer gel and gel swelling degree depends on the pH of the solution. The features of the system behavior resulting from the pH sensitivity of both the gel and the dye are shown. The thermocollapse of gels incubated in aqueous solutions of alcian blue is studied. It is shown that the transition temperature of N -vinylcaprolactam–sodium methacrylate copolymer gel to the collapsed state decreases with the dye absorption. The temperature-induced collapse of homopolymer gels in dye solutions is reversible, while the copolymer gel mass restores incompletely during the return temperature decrease. The dye absorption by the copolymer gel leads to decreased hysteresis.
