Polyoxazoline having both anthracene and disulfide groups was prepared by the reaction of partially hydrolyzed poly(N-acetylethylenimine) (PAEI) with (9-anthracenyl)methyl hydrogen 3,3'-dithio-dipropanoate in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) as a condensing agent. This photosensitive PAEI was irradiated with a 450-W high-pressure Hg lamp (lambda > 300 nm) to produce a PAEI gel, which was swollen in water and showed characteristic hydrogel properties. The equilibrium swelling degree in water was controlled both by the irradiation time and by the degree of substitution of the anthracene moieties. The water uptake was up to 20 times the weight of the dry gel. The photo-cross-linked PAEI gel became soluble by the reductive cleavage of disulfide cross-links. The gelation by photoreaction and the cleavage by reduction constitute a novel photosensitive and redox-sensitive hydrogel system.
