Electroactive hydrogels were prepared using commercial citric pectin, either raw (PC) or purified through dialysis (dPC), and chemically synthesized polypyrrole (PPy). H-1 NMR analyses showed that PC is a low methoxyl pectin (degree of methoxylation, DM=46%) and dPC is a high methoxyl pectin (DM=77%). The pyrrole polymerization was monitored through UV vis spectroscopy and both samples were observed to be good stabilizers for PPy in aqueous medium. The dispersions were used to prepare the hydrogels h-PC-PPy and h-dPC-PPy. The hydrogel h-dPC-PPy has a higher swelling index (SI approximate to 25%) at pH 1.2 than the hydrogel h-PC-PPy (SI approximate to 7%). Contrastingly, at pH 6.8 both hydrogels lost their mechanical integrity. Raman spectroscopy revealed that,PPy is more oxidized in h-PC-PPy. Nevertheless, both hydrogels are electroactive and therefore can be considered for applications in which the control of the degree of swelling is desired. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
