Polyzwitterions with LCST Side Chains: Tunable Self-Assembly [PDF]

open access: yesMacromolecules, 2020
Manipulation of self-assembly behavior of copolymers via environmental change is attractive in the fabrication of smart polymeric materials. We present tunable self-assembly behavior of graft copolymers, poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate)-graft-poly[oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)-co-di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] (PSBM-g-

Thermodynamic Description of the LCST of Charged Thermoresponsive Copolymers [PDF]

open access: yesMacromolecules, 2014
The dependence of the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of charged, thermosensitive copolymers on their charge fraction and the salt concentration is investigated by employing systematic cloud-point experiments and analytical theory. The latter is based on the concept of the Donnan equilibrium incorporated into a thermodynamic expansion of a ...

Thermal Conductivity of PNIPAm Hydrogels and Heat Management as Smart Windows

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, 2023
Though thermoresponsive lower critical solution temperature (LCST) hydrogels have attracted intense attention to be applied in smart windows, less efforts are paid on the LCST effect on the heat transfer process.

A simple linear time algorithm for the locally connected spanning tree problem on maximal planar chordal graphs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
A locally connected spanning tree (LCST) T of a graph G is a spanning tree of G such that, for each node, its neighborhood in T induces a connected sub- graph in G.

Development of a novel micro-bead force spectroscopy approach to measure the ability of a thermo-active polymer to remove bacteria from a corneal model

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Microbial keratitis occurs from the infection of the cornea by fungi and or bacteria. It remains one of the most common global causes of irreversible blindness accounting for 3.5% (36 million) of blind people as of 2015.

Design of intrinsically disordered proteins that undergo phase transitions with lower critical solution temperatures

open access: yesAPL Materials, 2021
Many naturally occurring elastomers are intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) built up of repeating units, and they can demonstrate two types of thermoresponsive phase behavior.

Heat storage for the coupling of Waste Heat Recovery and hydrogen production in a Solid-Oxide electrolyser [PDF]

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences
The dihydrogen molecule H2 is set to play a major role in future energy systems, both as a component of fuels or synthesis gases, and as an energy carrier for long-term electricity storage.

Tuning the Size of Thermoresponsive Poly(N-Isopropyl Acrylamide) Grafted Silica Microgels

open access: yesGels, 2017
Core-shell microgels were synthesized via a free radical emulsion polymerization of thermoresponsive poly-(N-isopropyl acrylamide), pNipam, on the surface of silica nanoparticles. Pure pNipam microgels have a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of
