Abstract. The temperature sensitivity (low critical solution temperature LCST), and pH sensitivity of binary grafting of two monomers
N-isopropylacrylamide NIPAAm (temperature responsive) and acrylic acid AAc (pH responsive) onto poly(tetrafluoroethylene)
PTFE, was studied for the graft copolymers with different grafting percentages, the reversibility of the phase transition from hydrophilic to hydrophobic behavior with change in temperature and pH were also studied. Poly(NIPAAm) has a low critical solution temperature of about 33 °C, but in case of the binary grafting the LCST shift to the lower temperature; probably due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between dimethylamino and acrylic acid groups.
Resumen. En este trabajo se estudió la sensibilidad a la temperatura (LCST) y sensibilidad al pH del injerto binario de 2 monómeros, la N-isopropilacrilamida NIPAAm (con respuesta a la temperatura) y el ácido acrílico AAc (con respuesta al pH) en politetrafluoroetileno PTFE a diferentes porcentajes de injerto. Se estudió la reversibilidad en la transición de comportamiento hidrofílico a hidrofóbico con el cambio en temperatura y pH. La P(NIPAAm) tiene una temperatura de solución crítica (LCST) de aproximadamente 33 °C, pero en elcaso del injerto binario estudiado la LCST se desplaza a temperaturas mas bajas, debido probablemente a la formación de puentes de hidrógeno entre los grupos amino de la NIPAAm y los grupos ácidos del ácido acrílico.
