The Study on Mechanical Properties of POSS Hybrid PVA Hydrogels

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel POSS hybrid nanocomposite hydrogels were synthesized by introducing water-soluble Oa-POSS into the PVA hydrogels. The mechanical properties are obviously dependent on the composition of gels. With the increase of Oa-POSS, the tensile strength and modulus increases significantly while the elongation break decreases. The gels exhibit higher compression strength than pure PVA hydrogels. This phenomenon is attributed to the effective entanglement of polymer chains around nanoparticles and enhanced interaction between PVA chains.
