摘要: Poor mechanical properties of PNIPAAm hydrogels have limited their applications. Nanocomposite hydrogels (NC gels) which incorporate inorganic clay possess high mechanical strength and other desirable properties. In this paper, we report a facile approach to synthesize NC gels using radiation technique. With exfoliated clay sheets acting as crosslinkers, N-isopropylacrylamide monomers are polymerized and crosslinked to form NC gels under -irradiation at room temperature. Apart from regular swelling behavior and interesting performance in thermo sensitivity, the radiation synthesized NC gel (RNC gel) has good optical transparency, high strength and flexibility. Through Micro-FTIR, XPS and TG analyses, a particular chemically crosslinked organic/inorganic network was identified in the RNC gel.

摘要: Silica-based adsorbent was prepared by radiation induced grafting of vinyl imidazole (VIM) onto the silanized silica, which was silanized by 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate. The effects of monomer composition and absorbed dose on the grafting yield were investigated to optimize the reaction conditions. The results showed that a VIM concentration of 2.5 moldm‒3 and an absorbed dose of 50 kGy were the optimal reaction conditions. FT IR and XPS spectra manifested that VIM was successfully grafted onto the silica surface. The SS-g-VIM adsorbent had excellent selectivity for Hg(II) adsorption in mixture divalent cationic metal solution and a maximum adsorption capacity of ca. 78 mg/g to Hg(II) at pH 5. The adsorption isotherm was investigated and the adsorption of Hg(II) fitted well with Langmuir mode. These results suggested that SS-g-VIM adsorbent has potential application for the removal of Hg(II) from wastewater.
