Abstract and Keywords

Abstract: A gradient nanocomposite hydrogel was successfully fabricated via a free radical polymerization under catalyst and thermal initiation conditions by using N, N-bis(acryloyl)cystamine(BACA)-modified silver nanowires(AgNWs) as the multifunctional crosslinkers and conductive fillers. Under the effect of gravity, the concentration of BACA-modified AgNWs was assembled into gradient distribution and sodium acrylate was used as ionic polymerizable monomer in this system. Scanning electron microscope(SEM), transmission electron microscope(TEM), tensile machine, electrochemical workstation and infrared thermal imaging were used to investigate the performance of the gradient nanocomposite hydrogel. The results show that the density of network increases from top to bottom and the nanocomposite hydrogel exhibits highly anisotropic mechanical, electrical, and photothermal performances. As demonstrations of related mechanical performance, the nanocomposite hydrogel can quickly change its shape asymmetrically in water and under near infrared irradiation, which provides a new insight into flexible smart actuator for this kind of hydrogel.

Keywords: gravity-induced assembly; Ag-S coordination interaction; concentration gradient; anisotropy; smart actuator
