title: Enhanced Swelling and Responsive Properties of Pineapple Peel Carboxymethyl Cellulose-g-poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) Superabsorbent Hydrogel by the Introduction of Carclazyte.
abstract: The superabsorbent hydrogels were synthesized by grafting acrylic acid and acrylamide onto pineapple peel carboxymethyl cellulose and effect of carclazyte introduction was compared. The structure and morphology of the superabsorbents were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and field emission scanning electron microscopy. Swelling behaviors of the superabsorbents were investigated in distilled water, 0.9% NaCl solution, various salt and pH solutions, as well as surfactant solutions and simulated physiological fluids. The swelling dynamic mechanism of the superabsorbents was explained well by Fickian diffusion and Schott's pseudo-second-order models. The introduction of carclazyte effectively improved the swelling capacity of the superabsorbents in various solutions as well as its salt- and pH-sensitivity. The prepared superabsorbents also exhibited excellent sensitivities to various surfactant solutions and simulated physiological fluids, showing potential applications in the biomaterials field.
