| Abstract | Despite the many advantages of photopolymerisation in the fabrication of hydrogels, studies on the synthesis of poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide) (PDEAAm) using this technique have received limited attention in the literature. A series of temperature sensitive hydrogels were prepared by free-radical crosslinking copolymerisation of N,N-diethylacrylamide (DEAAm) with 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NVP) and N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAAm), respectively. Two ultraviolet (UV) light sensitive initiators were trialled in the synthesis, namely 1-hydroxycyclohexylphenylketone and 2-hydroxy-1-[4-(hydroxy-ethoxy)phenyl]-2-methyl-1-propanone, with poly(ethylene glycol)dimethacrylate being used as the crosslinking agent. The lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs) of the hydrogels synthesised were shown to be close to body temperature using cloud point measurement and modulated differential scanning calorimetry, which is favourable particularly for ‘smart’ drug delivery applications. The swelling behaviour of the samples was investigated upon stepwise temperature change revealing that the hydrogels underwent reproducible pulsatile swelling behaviour. Oscillatory rheological studies showed that increasing the ratio of crosslinking agent could be used as a means of improving the mechanical properties of the photopolymerised temperature sensitive hydrogels. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
