Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of intelligent hydrogel drivers, in particular to a double-layer hydrogel material and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Intelligent hydrogel driver is a type under stimulationThe intelligent response device capable of reversibly obtaining/losing water molecules so as to change breeding shapes or volumes has potential application in the fields of bionics, intelligent valves, soft robots, biomedicines and the like. Generally, the method for constructing the gel actuator mainly comprises the steps of introducing a double-layer structure, a gradient structure and a pattern structure, namely an oriented structure, into the gel, so as to induce the gel to generate anisotropic swelling and actuating behaviors. Among the numerous methods, the construction of a hydrogel with a bilayer structure is the most common method, and currently, three methods are mainly used for realizing intelligent response behavior: firstly, different contents of nano particles (clay, carbon nano tubes or silicon dioxide, etc.) or cellulose microcrystals are introduced into a two-layer gel structure, and the components have two-layer structures with different swelling and response sensitivities to realize the construction of an actuator: for example, Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) -clay nanocomposite hydrogels of the group of mythium ananatis (Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) -clay nanocomposites hydrogel with a reactive binding property as a controlled catalyst, adv. function. mater.2015,25, 2980-doped 2991.) were developed as temperature sensitive actuators, and clay was introduced into the nanosheet hydrogel, which not only served as a physical cross-linker to increase the mechanical strength of the hydrogel, but also to adjust the thermal shrinkage of the hydrogel, and the content of clay in the hydrogel bilayer structure was controlled to achieve the driving behavior of the gel. Second, the hydrogel actuator can be constructed with polymer chains with different response behavior and function as a bilayer: zhang Li Na et al (Bilayer hydrogel actuators with light interface adsorbed from natural polysaccharides, Soft Matter 2017,13, 345) developed an intelligent two-layer hydrogel actuator composed of chitosan and cellulose/carboxymethyl cellulose, the chitosan layer and the cellulose/carboxymethyl cellulose composite layer have different pH responsiveness, and the carboxyl groups in the cellulose/carboxymethyl cellulose layer are ionized (pH value>3.8) and protonation of amino groups in the Chitosan layer (pH)<3.8) causing it to deform under different pH conditions, such as S-shape, spiral shape, tubular shape, bamboo shape, wave shape and flower shape; huang topic group (polyelectrodes and anti-polyelectrodes Effects for Dual Salt-Responseiv)e Interpenetrating networks hydrogels 2019,20,3524-3534) constructs a salt response Interpenetrating Network (IPN) hydrogel composed of a cationic ptmaea layer and an amphoteric pSBVI layer in a salt solution, the two polymer networks show opposite swelling behaviors due to the action of polyelectrolyte and counter-polyelectrolyte, and the prepared hydrogel shows a series of reversible regulation and control characteristics including structure, antibacterial performance and interface regeneration. Third, the gel driver of the Janus bilayer structure was constructed by varying the crosslink density in the bilayer structure: for example, in Fe3+In the presence of the catalyst, the PAAC/Clay hydrogel with excessive crosslinking density has lower swelling degree and higher modulus, and the PAAC/Clay layer is mixed with Fe3+PAAC/Clay layer combination can construct a dual-layer driver.
With the development of software drivers, more strategies and design ideas need to be developed to construct a two-layer structure.

Test example
The chitosan hydrogel prepared in comparative example 1 (denoted as CS), the PVA sample prepared in comparative example 2, and the composite hydrogel layer containing microcrystals prepared in example 1 (denoted as FH-Gel) and the composite hydrogel layer containing no microcrystals ((CS))Recorded as H-Gel), the test result is shown in figure 2, and the PVA hydroxyl characteristic absorption band is 3297cm-1Here, the CS is added to move to 3322cm-1The band is widened, and the absorption band width of H-Gel is larger than that of FH-Gel; PVA at 2923cm-1The C-H stretching vibration absorption band is weakened due to the addition of CS, and shifts at FH-Gel and H-Gelc; C-H oscillatory vibration (833 cm) of PVA-1) The absorption band, which is attenuated by the addition of CS, moves to 842cm in FH-Gel-1In H-Gel to 846cm-1At least one of (1) and (b); the reason for the small difference of the absorption spectrograms generated by the FH-Gel and the H-Gel is that a microcrystalline region is generated after the FH-Gel is subjected to repeated freeze thawing operation;
XRD tests were carried out on the chitosan hydrogel (denoted as CS) prepared in comparative example 1, the PVA hydrogel (denoted as PVA) prepared in comparative example 2, the composite hydrogel layer containing microcrystals (denoted as FH-Gel) prepared in example 1 and the composite hydrogel layer containing no microcrystals (denoted as H-Gel), and the results are shown in FIG. 3, from which it can be seen that the PVA has distinct crystal peaks at 2 theta of 11.7 DEG, 19.7 DEG, 40.9 DEG and 44.5 DEG; the XRD spectrum of CS shows a strong peak at about 20 degrees 2 theta due to the presence of a large amount of-OH and-NH groups in the chitosan structure2The groups can form stronger intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds, and the chitosan structure has certain regularity, so that the molecules can easily form a crystalline region. The peak values of chitosan around 20 ° in FH-Gel and H-Gel became weaker, representing a strong interaction between chitosan and PVA, and chitosan crystallinity decreased. Thus, both the XRD results and the FTIR results demonstrate that some interaction between chitosan and PVA occurs. In addition, the peak value of FH-Gel at about 20 degrees 2 theta is higher than that of H-Gel, indicating that PVA forms a microcrystalline region after being frozen;
the composite hydrogel layer containing microcrystals prepared in example 1 (denoted as FH-Gel) and the composite hydrogel layer without microcrystals (denoted as H-Gel) were subjected to 3D-raman spectroscopy, and the test results are shown in fig. 4 and 5, and the ratio of the region of microcrystals in H-Gel and FH-Gel was evaluated by Multivariate Curve Resolution (MCR), as shown in the inset diagrams of fig. 4 and 5, in turn, where fig. 4 is the depicted diagramA 3D-Raman spectrum of H-Gel, FIG. 5 is a 3D-Raman spectrum of FH-Gel; as can be seen from FIGS. 4 to 5, the reconstructed Raman images showed tensile strengths in blue and red (3000 to 3400 cm)-1). 3234cm in the blue Spectrum-1The apparent intensity of (a) is from OH-rich regions (crystallite regions), while the corresponding peak in the red spectrum corresponds to regions lacking OH (chemically cross-linked domains). The microcrystalline region in FH-Gel was approximately 35.87% in area;
the double-layer hydrogel material prepared in example 1 is stretched, and the test result is shown in fig. 6, and as can be seen from fig. 6, the double-layer hydrogel material prepared in example 1 has a tensile breaking stress of 61.53KPa, a tensile breaking strain of 216.22%, and has good toughness and tensile properties;
the composite hydrogel layer containing microcrystals and the composite hydrogel layer containing no microcrystals, which are prepared in example 1, are subjected to a swelling performance test, the test process is that the composite hydrogel layer containing microcrystals and the composite hydrogel layer containing no microcrystals are respectively placed in hydrochloric acid aqueous solutions with the pH values of 2 and 7 to be swelled and balanced, and the test result is shown in fig. 7, wherein an H-Gel curve in fig. 7 corresponds to the composite hydrogel layer containing no microcrystals (denoted as H-Gel), and an FH-Gel curve corresponds to the composite hydrogel layer containing microcrystals, which is prepared in example 1, and it can be seen from fig. 7 that the larger the ratio of chitosan to PVA is, the larger the difference between the swelling degrees of the frozen hydrogel and the unfrozen hydrogel is;
the double-layer hydrogel materials prepared in examples 1 to 4 were subjected to sensitivity testing, in which the double-layer hydrogel was placed in an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution with pH 2, and the test results are shown in fig. 8, and as can be seen from fig. 8, under the same pH conditions and at the same time, when the chitosan: the bending of the bilayer hydrogel was most pronounced when PVA was 3:1 (corresponding to example 1), and the time for the bilayer hydrogel to bend to the same angle gradually increased as the ratio increased. This is probably because as the PVA ratio increases, the concentration of chitosan within the CS/PVA hydrogel is diluted resulting in a slower response to pH. And the ratio of chitosan: the bending of PVA is less than that of PVA at 3:0.5, probably because the hydrogel frozen layer has microcrystalline areas, and the swelling of the unfrozen layer cannot offset the swelling of the frozen layer, so that the response is slow;
carrying out sensitivity test on the double-layer hydrogel material prepared in the embodiment 1 under the condition of different pH values, wherein the test process is to place the double-layer hydrogel in hydrochloric acid aqueous solutions with different pH values; the test result is shown in fig. 9, where a is a response curve of the double-layer hydrogel material to different phs, b is a physical graph of the double-layer hydrogel material at different bending degrees at different times under the condition that the pH is 2, and c is an SEM graph of the double-layer hydrogel material after swelling under the condition that the pH is 2 (the three graphs are, in order from left to right, a morphology of a composite hydrogel without crystallites, a morphology of a bonding interface of the double-layer hydrogel, and a morphology of a composite hydrogel with crystallites); as can be seen from a in fig. 9, the bending angle of the bilayer hydrogel is most pronounced at pH 2 and, secondly, at pH 3, the bending angle is not pronounced at pH 4 or 5 at the same time; when the double-layer hydrogel is bent at the same angle, the double-layer hydrogel takes the shortest time when the pH value is 2, and the pH value is 3 times; as can be seen from b in fig. 9, the longer the time, the greater the completeness; as can be seen from c in FIG. 9, after swelling of the double-layer hydrogel material, the composite hydrogel layer without crystallites becomes larger due to the moisture entering the voids, and the composite hydrogel layer with crystallites has a more compact structure due to the existence of crystallite regions.
The composite hydrogel layer containing microcrystals and the composite hydrogel layer containing no microcrystals, which were prepared in example 5, were subjected to a swelling performance test, which was carried out: the composite hydrogel layer containing microcrystals and the composite hydrogel layer not containing microcrystals are placed in a hydrochloric acid aqueous solution with the pH value of 2 for swelling balance, and the test result is shown in fig. 10, wherein a Treated Gel curve in fig. 10 corresponds to the composite hydrogel layer containing microcrystals, an N-Treated Gel curve corresponds to the composite hydrogel layer not containing microcrystals, and an inter Gel curve corresponds to the composite hydrogel layer containing microcrystals, and it can be known from fig. 10 that the higher the content of the cross-linking agent is, the larger the difference between the swelling degrees of the composite hydrogel layer containing microcrystals and the composite hydrogel layer not containing microcrystals is.
The PNIPAM/PVA composite hydrogel layer containing microcrystals (denoted as FH-Gel) and the composite hydrogel layer containing no microcrystals (denoted as H-Gel) prepared in example 10 were respectively subjected to swelling equilibrium in aqueous solutions at T ═ 5 ℃ and T ═ 50 ℃, the Gel mass was measured, the deswelling rate of the Gel was calculated, and the test results are shown in fig. 13, in which the swelling properties of the composite hydrogel layers all showed similar trends with the change in the ratio of chitosan to PVA, and the deswelling rate of the unfrozen hydrogel when heated was greater than that of the hydrogel layer after freezing treatment.
Application example
Referring to the preparation process of example 5, a double-layer hydrogel material (shown in a matter of a2 to e2 in fig. 11) with the structure shown in a1 to e1 in fig. 11 was obtained by adjusting the structure of the template, and a swelling performance test was performed under the condition of pH 2, and the test results are shown in a3 to e3 in fig. 11, as can be seen from fig. 11, a multi-node complete hydrogel can be prepared by geometric design;
referring to the preparation process of example 5, a bionic manipulator (four-arm double-layer hydrogel) capable of grasping a weight was simulated in an "X" crossing manner, fixed to the bottom end of a nail, and then immersed in an acidic aqueous solution having a pH of 2 and suspended over the upper end of a spherical weight, and the bionic manipulator completely grasped the weight rapidly downward due to rapid swelling of the composite hydrogel layer containing no microcrystals as shown in fig. 12, lifted and removed from the medium, which was completed within 2 min. And then, placing the bionic manipulator in an alkaline medium, and recovering the original shape of the bionic manipulator to release the heavy object. It follows that such a robot with a rapid response deformation can only perform simple mechanical work in a harsh acidic medium.
From the above, after being subjected to freeze thawing, PVA can form a microcrystalline region which can effectively absorb energy and bear large deformation, so that the swelling degree of the prepared composite hydrogel layer containing the microcrystalline region is smaller than that of the composite hydrogel layer not containing the microcrystalline region, and the composite hydrogel layer can show a rapid and reversible deformation behavior under pH induction, and has stable cycle reversibility and excellent mechanical properties. Meanwhile, a series of complicated 3D structural hydrogels, such as annular, S-shaped, multi-section, spiral or flower type hydrogels, can be constructed by using the deformation behavior driven by the double-layer hydrogel, and can be deformed within 3-6 min. In addition, an intelligent hydrogel driver is constructed by combining with a geometric design, namely a double-layer hydrogel material simulating a bionic manipulator capable of grabbing heavy objects in an X-shaped cross mode. Therefore, the construction of introducing the microcrystalline region into the double-layer hydrogel is feasible, and the self-deforming hydrogel based on the natural macromolecules has wide application prospect in the field of soft robots.
The double-layer PNIPAM/PVA hydrogel strip prepared in example 10 was subjected to a deformation test in a 50 ℃ aqueous solution, as shown in FIG. 14, and was able to rapidly undergo bending deformation within 20 seconds. Therefore, the double-layer hydrogel with rapid response deformation has wider application prospect in the field of ultra-sensitive gel drivers.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and decorations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
