제목 UCST-type gel phase equilibrium of Hydrogel/ water/ alcohol mixtures
초록 We investigated the swelling behaviors of upper critical solution temperature (UCST)-type nano-sized Poly (2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) (PHEMA) particle gel with the n-alkanol in the presence of water. As the strong water absorptive and biocompatible hydrogel, it is worth to reveal the phase behavior of PHEMA/water. The swelling behaviors of the crosslinked PHEMA particle gel and the phase miscibility of the linear PHEMA mixed with the n-alkanol/water solution were measured. Our data showed that the increase of water in the mixed solvent gradually reduces the swelling temperature. Moreover, the two phase region of PHEMA/water/n-butanol showed sudden expansion around water fraction of 15 vol%. The modified double lattice (MDL) and Flory-Huggins (FH) models were employed to describe the given ternary systems. The MDL model showed better description which is capable to represent the oriented interactions in the systems.
