Plasma polymerized hydrogel thin films for applications in sensors and actuators

Plasma polymerization was used to produce thermoresponsive, hydrogel films of N-Isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) in a single step. Through variation of reactor conditions such as deposition pressure and substrate temperature, physicochemical properties of the hydrogel films such as crosslink density an...
