Stimuli-responsive composite hydrogels have been in the vanguard of researches for their application in metal ion adsorption and its release via conformational change. The preparation of composite hydrogels with both thermo- and magneto responsiveness requires careful layer-by-layer coatings of functional shells onto the core of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). However, multiple stages of shell encapsulation of MNPs remains a major setback on the production of composite hydrogels with adequate colloidal stability and well-functioned dual-responsiveness. In this study, homo-polymeric poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-encapsulated magnetite nanoparticles (PNIPAM-MNPs) cross-linked composite hydrogels were facilely synthesized via layer-by-layer coatings with and without employing silanization precursor, 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (MPS). It was found that PNIPAM could be gelated directly onto the silica-coated, poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) functionalized MNPs(silica-PVP-MNPs) via free radical polymerization without MPS to improve its colloidal stability and both thermo-magneto-responsive. Besides, co polymeric poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid)-encapsulated MNPs ((PNIPAM-co-AA)-silica-PVP-MNPs) composite hydrogels were prepared for elucidating the difference in adsorption mechanisms between chelating groups of carboyxlates (-COO- ) contained by AA moiety and amides (-CONH) of NIPAM moiety.
