Abstract

Ionic hydrogels with great water absorption capacity generally display poor mechanical strength that limits their use and narrows down their application areas. In this study, the new ionic hydrogel composed of poly (3-methacrylamido propyl trimethyl ammonium chloride) crosslinked with N, N-methylenebisacrylamide and sulphate ions was synthesized to obtain the hydrogel formulation which exhibits both huge swelling capacity and high mechanical stability, simultaneously. The successively synthesized gels with this strategy achieved a swelling capacity of 270 g/g and a modulus increased up to 20.43 kPa, indicating that they have a great potential to use in applications in which the both properties are required. The gels carrying a great number of cationic sites were also found to have a high affinity to phosphate ions, attaining an sorption value of 370 mg/g gel and to exhibit pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir sorption isotherm models. The obtained results revealed that the new pMAPTAC gels have good potential for both phosphate sorption and high water uptake capacity without losing structural integrity owing to their enhanced mechanical strength.
