Influence of Crosslink Density on Swelling and Conformation of Surface-Constrained Poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide) Hydrogels
A stimuli-responsive microgel is a three-dimensional polymer network that is able to absorb and expel a solvent (commonly water). These materials are unique in the fact that their sponge-like behavior can be actuated by environmental cues, like temperature, ion concentration, pH, and light. Because...
