Polymerization of a new thermo-responsive copolymer with N-vinylcaprolactam and its application in recyclable aqueous two-phase systems with another thermo-responsive polymer

Abstract Background The recovery characteristics of phase-forming polymers are essential for aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) to recycle in bioseparation engineering. Results A new thermo-responsive copolymer (P VBAm) is suggested based on N-vinylcaprolactam, acrylamide, and butyl methacrylate. Toge...
