Investigation of the Effects of Different Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Comonomers on the Volume Phase Transition Temperatures and Thermal Properties of N-Isopropylacrylamide-Based Hydrogels

In this work, a series of thermally responsive terpolymers of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) with three different comonomer contents was synthesized, and their swelling behaviour was studied as a function of composition and temperature. Temperature-sensitive, random cross-linked terpolymers of NIPA we...
