Radiation-Grafting of Cotton-g-DMAEMA for Biomedical Applications
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 December 2012
Abstract
This work covers the design of stimuli-responsive membranes and their ever-expanding range of use. Stimuli-responsive membranes that change their physicochemical properties in response to changes in their environment were synthesized for biomedical application. Responsive cotton-g-[2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate] membranes were obtained using γ-rays by mutual irradiation (direct method). The effect of absorbed dose, dose rate, and monomer concentration on the grafting yield was determined. The grafted samples were verified by the FTIR-ATR, 1H and 13C HRMAS NMR and 13C CPMAS NMR spectroscopies; thermal properties were analyzed by TGA and DSC and the stimuli-responsive behavior was studied by DSC.
