A novel type of propenyloxy cucurbituril [7]/polyacrylic hydrogel ((C3H5O)1CB [7]/PAA gel) with high elasticity and self-healing properties was fabricated by making use of propenyloxy cucurbituril [7] to replace N
N-methylene-bis-acrylamide (BIS)
which is a traditional cross-linking agent. The structure of the hydrogel was characterized by IR and1H NMR. The swelling and mechanical properties of the hydrogel were studied
and the self-healing properties were observed macroscopically. The results show that multiple hydrogen bonds was considered as the mainly force in the formation of (C3H5O)1CB [7]/PAA gel's network. The hydrogel has excellent self-healing and mechanical properties in acrylic acid(AA 17.2%
potassium persulfate(KPS) 0.33%. The maximum elongation of (C3H5O)1CB[7]/PAA gel is 105.6 cm (86 times the original length) and the elastic modulus is 0.39 kPa
and the equilibrium swelling ratio is 600%. (C3H5O)1CB[7]/PAA gel would be a potential bio-tissue engineering material.
