Abstract Cellulose-g-PAA nanofiber hydrogels with pH-responsive were synthesized by graft copolymerization of pH-responsive polyacrylic acid (PAA) on to electrospun cellulose nanofibrous membranes with ammonium ceric nitrate as initiator. The effect of m(N)/m(c) on the morphology, grafting rate and swelling rate of cell-g-PAA nanofiber hydrogels were investigated. The results showed that the grafting rate of cell-g-PAA nanofiber hydrogels rapidly increased from 11% to 28% with increasing m(N)/m(c) from 5 to 10, and then leveled off. The swelling rate of cell-g-PAA nanofiber hydrogels increased from (15.2±1.6) g/g to (46.1±4.9) g/g with increasing m(N)/m(c) from 5 to 15, and then decreased. The effect of pH and ionic strength on the swelling rate of hydrogels were investigated. When the pH value changed from 2.2 to 7.8, the swelling rate increased from (31.3±2.5) g/g to (42.7±3.2) g/g, and then decreased. Moreover, the swelling rate decreased from (36.2±2.6) g/g to (21.4±1.4) g/g when ionic strength increased from 0 mol/L to 0.15 mol/L. This research provides a new approach to fabricate hydrogels with great sensitivity to pH value.
