Development of Multi‐purpose Lipid Coated PNIPAM Microgels and Techniques for Characterizing Lateral Diffusion in Bilayers

The pursuit of a greater understanding of the biological membrane has led to the development of a number of mimetics and probing techniques. This thesis contributes to both of these efforts. Towards the development of mimetics, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) microgels were explored as membran...
