Popis: | As a temperature-sensitive-discoloration hydrogel based on NIPAAm/HHPC was fabricated via two steps of electron beam radiation. Small nanomaterial such as GO and Fe2O3 were also added severally into the system of hydrogel as chromogenic agent. Different colors can be displayed in nanocomposite hydrogel system at the low, medium and high temperature respectively. The LCST of hydrogel system can be also adjusted precisely by the changes of irradiation dose of the prepolymer and composition ratio. Experimental results showed that the hydrogel can be changed quickly itself color in its near LCST. The microstructure and composition of nanocomposite hydrogel were characterized further by NMR, FTIR, TG, DSC, XRD, FE-SEM and XPS so as to reveal the mechanism of temperature-sensitive- discoloration. The novel NIPAAm/HHPC-based nanocomposite hydrogel is suitable especially to indicate different fever temperatures for fever patients and can be expected to as a new type of temperature-sensitive sensor and replace the traditional clinical thermometer. |
