TI  - Synthesis of Novel Double Network Hydrogels via Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization
N2  - Novel double network (DN) hydrogels were prepared via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of the first network using two different initiators, and followed by ultraviolet (UV) photo-initiated polymerization for the second network. The first networks of DN hydrogels were prepared by using two different initiators; one is a one-side initiator, and the other is a double-side initiator. The mechanical properties of various DN gels, such as water content and compressive strength, were studied. The network structure of the DN hydrogels was also characterized by dynamic light scattering. Thus, we demonstrated that the ATRP method is useful to control the network structure of the first network for DN gels. Extensive inhomogeneous structure of the first network was obtained by ATRP method and increased both the swelling degree and softness of DN gels.
