One-step grafting of polymers to graphene oxide [PDF]
The direct grafting of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) to the basal plane of graphene oxide has been achieved in a single step: cleavage of the terminal thiocarbonylthio group on RAFT grown poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) reveals a reactive thiol that attacks ...

Water flow in poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) gels
Friction between a polymer network of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) gels and solvent water was investigated. The gel was mechanically constrained in a glass capillary at gelation, and hydrostatic pressure was directly applied to the cross section of the cylinder.

Quantifying the Reversible Association of Thermosensitive Nanoparticles [PDF]
Under many conditions, biomolecules and nanoparticles associate by means of attractive bonds, due to hydrophobic attraction. Extracting the microscopic association or dissociation rates from experimental data is complicated by the dissociation events and
