PG - 30269-30277 LID - 10.1021/acsami.9b09294 [doi] AB - Linear control of moisture permeability and anti-adhesion of bacteria in a broad temperature region are realized by cross-linking thermoresponsive microgels onto cotton fabrics. The microgels are copolymerized by monomers di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (MEO(2)MA), (ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (OEGMA(300)), and ethylene glycol methacrylate (EGMA) with a molar ratio of 10:10:1. Transition temperatures of PMEO(2)MA and POEGMA(300) are 25 and 60 degrees C, respectively. Due to the compression of already collapsed PMEO(2)MA to still swollen POEGMA(300), the microgels present a linear shrinkage in a broad temperature region (20-70 degrees C). Additionally, the contact angle of the microgels stays below 60 degrees even if the temperature is increased to 50 degrees C, illustrating the reserved surface hydrophilicity. The obtained microgels are cross-linked onto cotton fabrics by 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic (BTCA). The weight gain ratios (WGRs) are 15% and 30%. The moisture permeability shows an excellent linear increase between 20 and 50 degrees C when the WGR is 30%, which is attributed to the linear shrinkage of the cross-linked microgels upon heating. Because the moisture permeability is related to the fabric comfort, a linear control of comfort is obtained. In addition, the cross-linked cotton fabrics can realize 96.5% bacterial anti-adhesion at 30 degrees C as the surface remains hydrophilic. On the basis of these two unique properties, the realized cotton fabrics cross-linked with microgels are promising for application as smart textiles for wound addressing.
