Preparation of PNIPAAm Grafted Cotton via O2 Plasma and its Thermal Sensitivity

Article Preview

Abstract:

A temperature-sensitive N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) grafted cotton fabric was prepared by the plasma-induced graft polymerization technique. The surface morphology of the grafted fabric was observed from field scanning electron microscopy (FSEM). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and DSC were used to characterize the structure and thermal property of the grafted fabric. The results showed that the PNIPAAm was grafted onto cotton fabrics. The DSC analysis results indicated that LCST value of the grafted fabric was around 32 °C. The water permeation flux of the grafted fabric varied dramatically with a slight change at temperature around the LCST, which showed that the grafted PNIPAAm could act effectively as a chemical valve to control the on-off behavior of cotton fabrics.
