| Abstract | We report a novel method to prepare nanoparticles, microgels and bulk hydrogels starting from micelles formed by molecules of a nonionic surfactant, alkylphenol polyoxyethylene (10) ether (OP-10). The micelles can be stabilized under γ-ray irradiation to form nanoparticles which have a similar size to that of the micelles. Microgels and bulk hydrogels can easily be obtained by controlling the reaction conditions of the grafting of a hydrophilic monomer acrylic acid (AA) onto the radiation-peroxidized micelles. The bulk hydrogels initiated and crosslinked by peroxidized micelles (pMIC hydrogels) are highly transparent, and they have very high compressive strengths, several to several tens of MPa at a strain of 0.95. The synthesis conditions such as irradiation time, OP-10 concentration and monomer concentration are optimized by measuring the compressive strengths and elastic moduli of the obtained gels. The as-prepared and swollen hydrogel samples seldom break during the compression tests even at a strain of 0.98. The hydrogels have excellent shape recoverability, they can restore their initial shapes immediately after the release of the load. The gels have an interesting oriented microstructure. By investigating the morphologies of the samples reacted for different times with SEM, the link between the polymerization process and the gel morphology has been established. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
