Abstract: Poly (N,N′-dimethylacrylamide) and P (DMAA-co-MMA) copolymer hydrogels have been prepared by the photochemical synthesis,the process of photo-polymerization was completed within 3 minutes.P (DMAA-MMA)/nano-SiO2 complex hydrogels were prepared by the radical graft copolymerization of N,N′-dimethylacrylamide and a bit of MMA onto the surface of nano-SiO2 particles whose surface were modified.Irgacure 2959 was used as photo-initiator and N,N′-methylene bisacrylamide (Bis) was used as the cross-linking agent.The products were characterized by FT-IR and SEM.Swelling dynamics,water release behavior,ionic strength sensitive and pH-sensitive performances of the hydrogels were discussed.

Key words: poly (N,N′-dimethylacrylamide), temperature-sensitive hydrogels, nano-SiO2, pH-sensitive
