Thermo-responsive gels that absorb moisture and ooze water

Thermo-responsive gels that absorb moisture and ooze water

Most smart hydrogels are used in their wet state and determination of their phase transition behaviour in the dried state is lacking. Here the authors investigate the thermo-responsive behaviour of an interpenetrating polymer network gel comprising of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and sodium alginate...
