A Novel Synthesis and Properties of Hectorite Itaconic acid and Acrylamide Nanocomposite Hydrogels with strength

Abstract: A novel hectorite Itaconic acid and Acrylamide nanocomposite hydrogels was synthesized by inverse polymerization. The viscoelasticity behaviour of the nanocomposite hydrogels was studied. The hectorite amount on water absorbency rate, gel strength and shear resistance were investigated. The nanocomposite hydrogels with suitable water absorbency and shear resistance, high gel strength, solid like behaviour in the whole oscillation frequency region and enhanced viscoelastic behaviour under high stress. The Synthesised Hydrogel particles are spherical in shape and having particle size ranging from 25-60 nm. In this paper synthesis, their behaviour and various parameter are explained.
