Comparative Characteristics of Polymethacrylic Acid Hydrogel Sorption Activity in Relation to Lanthanum Ions in Different Intergel Systems

Phenomena of remote interaction in intergel systems polymethacrylic acid hydrogel – poly-4-vinylpyridine hydrogel (hPMAA-hP4VP) and polymethacrylic acid hydrogel – poly-2-methyl-5-vinylpyridine hydrogel (hPMAA-hP2M5VP) have been studied. It was found that there is a decrease of specific electric conductivity, pH and swelling degree of PMAA, P4VP, P2M5VP hydrogels during lanthanum ions sorption by the intergel systems.

Mutual activation and sorption ability of rare cross-linked networks in intergel system based on polymethacrylic acid and poly-4-vinylpyridine hydrogels in relation to lanthanum ions

Sorption ability of intergel system polymethacrylic acid hydrogel (gPMAA) – poly-4-vinylpyridine hydrogel (gP4VP) in relation to lanthanum ions is studied. Hydrogels mutual activation in an aqueous medium, particularly dependencies of swelling coefficient, specific electric conductivity and pH of water solutions are studied. Maximum activation of hydrogels occurs at gPMAA:gP4VP molar ratio 3:3. Maximum total binding degree of polymer chain in the intergel system is observed at the ratio gPMAA:gP4VP = 1:5.
