AB This article describes the design and synthesis of a new series of hydrogelmembranes composed of trialkyne derivatives of glycerol ethoxylate andbisphenol A diazide (BA-diazide) or diazide-terminated PEG600 monomer viaa Cu(I)-catalyzed photoclick reaction. The water-swollen hydrogel membranesdisplay thermoresponsive actuation and their lower critical solution temperature(LCST) values are determined by differential scanning calorimetry. Glycerolethoxylate moiety serves as the thermoresponsive component and hydrophilicpart, while the azide-based component acts as the hydrophobic comonomerand most likely provides a critical hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance contributingalso to the significant mechanical strength of the membranes. These hydrogelsexhibit a reversible shape-memory effect in response to temperature througha defined phase transition. The swelling and deswelling behavior of themembranes are systematically examined. Due to the click nature of the reaction,easy availability of azide and alkyne functional-monomers, and the polymerarchitecture, the glass transition temperature (Tg) is easily controlled throughmonomer design and crosslink density by varying the feed ratio of differentmonomers. The mechanical properties of the membranes are studied byuniversal tensile testing measurements. Moreover, the hydrogels show the abilityto absorb a dye and release it in a controlled manner by applying heat below andabove the LCST.
