Investigation of Gel Properties of Novel Cryo-Clay-Silica Polymer Networks
Several methods to increase the mechanical and swelling properties of Poly(<i>N</i>-isopropylacrylamide) gels are known. In this study different methods were combined to systematically alter the gel properties. The combination of nanocomposite and cryo gels as well as silica post modific...

| description | Several methods to increase the mechanical and swelling properties of Poly(<i>N</i>-isopropylacrylamide) gels are known. In this study different methods were combined to systematically alter the gel properties. The combination of nanocomposite and cryo gels as well as silica post modification was used to modulate the gel strength. This new cryo-clay-silica gel based on <i>N</i>-isopropylacrylamide was investigated in respect to degree of swelling, kinetic of thermo responsive behavior and tensile strength. Here, the properties of new cryo-clay-silica gel were compared with properties of clay-, silica-clay and cryo-clay gels. |
