Abstract
In this paper, polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogels
grafted via photopolymerization onto various types of polyethylene
terephthalate (PET) as matrix were designed and synthesized. The investigation
was carried out based on thickness (0.02 -0.07 mm) of nonwoven PET textiles
from various resources as well as commercial PET membrane. In this study, PET
matrices with a disk shape of 4.5 cm in diameter were coated with thin hydrogel
using UVA photopolymerization system. The resulting grafted PAAm-g-PET was
examined through degree of grafting (DG) and characterized by using Fourier
Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The DG above 50 % results showed the
ability of PAAm hydrogel to be grafted onto PET. The various range of thickness
and surface of PET also gave an impact onto the performance of grafting of PAAm
onto PET. FTIR results also confirmed the addition of amide group after
grafting process (1720 cm-1, 1100 cm-1, 850 cm-1).
The hydrophilicity of hydrogels was reported to impart oil fouling resistance.
We expect that grafted hydrogel layer has fascinating future for oil/water
separation.

Abstrak
Dalam kertas ini, hidrogel poliakrilamida (PAAm)
dicantumkan pada beberapa jenis polietilena tereftalat (PET) sebagai matriks
dengan menggunakan teknik pempolimeran cahaya telah direka dan disintesis.
Kajian ini telah dilaksanakan berdasarkan ketebalan (0.02-0.07 mm) tekstil PET
bukan tenunan daripada pelbagai sumber yang berbeza dan juga membran PET
komersial. Melalui kajian ini, tekstil PET dipotong dalam bentuk cakera yang
berdiameter 4.5 cm telah disaluti dengan lapisan hidrogel yang nipis
menggunakan sistem pempolimeran cahaya UVA. Hasil cantuman PAAm-g-PET
dianalisis melalui darjah cantuman (DG) dan dicirikan menggunakan spektroskopi
inframerah transformasi Fourier (FTIR). Hasil 50 % DG dan ke atas dapat
membuktikan keupayaan sifat hidrogel PAAm yang dicantumkan dengan PET.
Ketebalan dan permukaan PET yang berbeza turut memberi kesan terhadap kebolehupayaan
cantuman antara PAAm dan PET. Keputusan FTIR juga mengesahkan penambahan
kumpulan amida selepas proses cantuman (1720 cm-1, 1100 cm-1,
850 cm-1). Sifat hidrofilik hidrogel dilaporkan memberikan rintangan
terhadap kotoran minyak. Kami menjangkakan bahawa lapisan hidrogel yang
dicantumkan mempunyai masa depan yang baik dan menarik untuk pengasingan
minyak/air.
