Plasma Polymerization of SnOxCy Organic-Like Films and Grafted PNIPAAm Composite Hydrogel with Nanogold Particles for Promotion of Thermal Resistive Properties

open access: yesMicromachines, 2016
In this study, a new type of temperature sensor device was developed. The circular electrode of the thermally sensitive sensor was modified with tetramethyltin (TMT) and O2 plasma to form a thin SnOxCy conductive layer on the electrode surface.

Hydrogel Thermostat Inspired by Photoprotective Foliage Using Latent and Radiative Heat Control

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Guided by Populus alba foliage, this hydrogel latent‐radiative thermostat (LRT) actively balances latent and radiative heat fluxes. An LRT switches solar reflectance, maintains high mid‐IR emissivity, and reversibly evaporates/regenerates water, while titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles toughen the film.

Lower critical solution temperature versus volume phase transition temperature in thermoresponsive drug delivery systems

open access: yeseXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2011
One of the most subtle problem in the characterization of thermoresponsive polymers is the evaluation of the relationship between the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the linear polymer and the volume phase transition temperature (VPTT) of ...

A structural underpinning of the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior behind temperature-switchable liquids

open access: yesMatter
In this study we use state of the art x-ray scattering and molecular dynamics structural probes to carry out a careful analysis of amine-water mixtures that show the unusual lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior. The goal is to provide direct experimental evidence for the entropy-lowering molecular cluster formation originally ...
