Modeling lower critical solution temperature behavior of associating polymer brushes with classical density functional theory [PDF]

, 2013
We study the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior of associating polymer brushes (i.e., poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)) using classical density functional theory.

Thermosensitive Cu2O-PNIPAM core-shell nanoreactors with tunable photocatalytic activity [PDF]

, 2016
We report a facile and novel method for the fabrication of Cu2O@PNIPAM core-shell nanoreactors using Cu2O nanocubes as the core. The PNIPAM shell not only effectively protects the Cu2O nanocubes from oxidation, but also improves the colloidal stability ...
