Data for Photocrosslinking of polyacrylamides using [2+2] photodimerisation of monothiomaleimides

Listed in figshare

The [2+2] photocycloaddition of monothiomaleimides (MTM) has been exploited for the photocrosslinking of polyacrylamides.

Description

Polymer scaffolds composed of dimethylacrylamide (DMA) and varying amounts of D,L-homocysteine thiolactone acrylamide(5, 10, and 20 mol%) were synthesised via free radical polymerisation (FRP), whereby the latent thiol-functionality was exploited to incorporate MTM motifs. Subsequent exposure to UV light (λ= 365 nm, 15 mWcm-2) triggered intermolecular crosslinking via the photodimerisation of MTM side chains, thus resulting in the formation of polyacrylamide gels.

The polymer scaffolds were characterised using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-Visible spectroscopy(UV-Vis), 1H NMR, and size exclusion chromatography(SEC), confirming the occurrence of the [2+2] photocycloaddition between the MTM moieties. The mechanical and physical properties of the resulting gels containing various MTM mol% were evaluated by rheology, compression testing, and swelling experiments.

In addition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterise the xerogel morphology of5 and 10 mol% MTM hydro-and organo-gels. The macro-porous morphology obtained for the hydrogels was attributed to phase separation due to the difference insolubility of the PDMA modified with thiolactone side chains, provided that a more homogeneous morphology was obtained when the photo-gels were prepared in DMF as the solvent.<br><br>Dataset (Zip file) contains data for following items: Figure 2; Figure 3; Figure 4; Figure 5; Figure 7; Figure 8; Figure 9; Figure 10; Figure S1; Figure S2; Figure S3; Figure S4; Figure S5; Figure S6; Figure S7; Figure S8; Figure S9; Figure S10; Figure S11; Figure S12; Figure S13; Figure S15; Figure S16; Table 1 and Table S1
