In-situ synthesis of CuO nanoparticles in P(NIPAM-co-AAA) microgel, structural characterization, catalytic and biological applications

The production of new multi-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-allyl acetic acid) [P(NIPAM-AAA)] copolymer microgel by free radical emulsion polymerization is reported. Inside this copolymer microgel CuO nanoparticles were generated by in situ reduction of copper nitrate followed by the air oxida...
