Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce porous gel having high temperature response by applying beforehand gamma-rays, etc., to a water solution of polyvinyl methyl ether at a temperature lower than its phase transition temperature, then applying again gamma-rays, etc., thereto at a temperature higher than said temperature. CONSTITUTION:A water solution containing polyvinyl methyl ether is formed into a desired shape, which at first is kept at a temperature lower than its phase transition temperature and next gamma-rays or electron-beams are applied threreto beforehand so that crosslinking is properly started; then, the temperature of the solution is raised to a temperature higher than its transition temperature for further application of gamma-rays or electron-beams to said solution. By said process, the crosslinking velocity and phase separation velocity are kept well balanced, so that porous gel with fine pore is produced, which has a reversibility wherein the gel swells at low temperature and contracts at high temperature in the presence of water, a high temperature response and a variety of applications such as for energy conversion, actuator, etc.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention These temperature-responsive organic materials are all made of polymer gels, and when the materials swell or contract due to temperature,
Accompanied by the absorption and release of the liquid that constitutes the gel, the diffusion of this liquid within the gel determines the temperature response of the material,
It is known that the response speed is proportional to the square of the gel size [[Physical Review Letters (P
HysicalReview Letters) J Volume 55, Page 2455 (1985)], that is,
The smaller the size of the gel, the faster the response speed of the material.

iI Means for Solving the Problem In order to solve the above problem, the inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive research and found that a large number of small gels aggregate and the gels are separated by holes. We thought that we might be able to achieve this goal by preparing a porous gel with a similar structure, that is, microscopic pores.

Therefore, the present inventors focused on polyvinyl methyl ether aqueous solutions that gel by irradiation with gamma rays or electron beams and have a phase transition temperature (near 38°C), and as a result of extensive research, they found that the temperature of the polyvinyl methyl ether We have discovered a method for producing a crosslinked polyvinyl methyl ether gel having fine pores by maintaining the temperature near the phase transition temperature of an aqueous solution and irradiating it with gamma rays or electron beams (Japanese Patent Application No. 61-93832).

It is necessary to strictly control the irradiation dose of gamma rays or electron beams and the reaction temperature near the phase transition temperature, and depending on the conditions, a homogeneous gel or a gel that aggregates in the container may be formed, which may result in unstable manufacturing. I found out that there is a side to it.

Therefore, as a result of further intensive studies, we found that if there is a large amount of gamma ray or electron beam irradiation until the phase transition temperature of the polyvinyl methyl ether aqueous solution is reached, the degree of overhead wire will increase before phase separation occurs, resulting in a homogeneous product. A gel is obtained, and the temperature responsiveness of the gel in the presence of water is low, ranging from several hours to several days, and the irradiation dose of gamma rays or electron beams until the phase transition temperature of the polyvinyl methyl ether aqueous solution is reached. It has been found that if there is a small amount, the degree of crosslinking will be small, and as a result, phase separation will occur rapidly above the phase transition temperature and agglomeration will occur in the container, making it impossible to obtain the desired shape.

We found that a porous gel with fine pores was obtained by well balancing the speed of crosslinking and phase separation, and that its temperature response was high, ranging from several seconds to several minutes.

In other words, when the irradiation dose is less than this, the temperature is maintained higher than the phase transition temperature of the polyvinyl methyl ether aqueous solution, and when gamma rays or electron beams are further irradiated, the degree of crosslinking is small, so If phase separation occurs and the desired shape cannot be obtained and the irradiation dose is higher than the above-mentioned amount, the temperature is subsequently maintained at a temperature higher than the phase transition temperature of the polyvinyl methyl ether aqueous solution, and gamma rays or When irradiated with an electron beam, the degree of crosslinking is high, so phase separation is difficult to occur and only a homogeneous gel can be obtained.

The polyvinyl methyl ether crosslinked gel obtained by the method of the present invention has fine pores, and its shape reversibly changes depending on temperature in the presence of water. That is, the crosslinked gel absorbs water and swells at a temperature lower than the phase transition temperature, and releases water and contracts at a temperature higher than the phase transition temperature. Regarding the responsiveness to such temperature, the cross-linked gel has fine pores that absorb and release water during phase transition, compared to a homogeneous gel obtained by cross-linking at a temperature lower than the phase transition temperature. It is extremely good because it can be done quickly through the process. Almost no deterioration of the gel due to repeated swelling and contraction was observed.
