Synthesis and characterization of PIL/pNIPAAm hybrid hydrogels
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2016 In this study, varying amounts of NIPAAm and an ionic liquid (IL), namely 1-vinyl-3-isopropylimidazolium bromide ([ViPrIm]+[Br]−), have been used to synthesize hybrid hydrogels by radical emulsion polymerization. Amounts of 70/30%, 50/50%, 30/70%, 15/85%

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, 2008 AbstractTwo sets of emulsion particles have been synthesized. In the first set, surfactant free emulsion was used to directly synthesize PS‐PNIPAAM copolymer particles. In the second set, polystyrene particles with an ATRP initiator shell were first synthesized and subsequently grafted with PNIPAAM brushes.

Trithiocarbonate-Functionalized PNiPAAm-Based Nanocomposites for Antimicrobial Properties [PDF]
Polymers, 2018 In this study, four trithiocarbonate-functionalized PNiPAAms with different molecular weights were synthesized and used as a matrix to form composites with silver nanoparticles. Nanocomposites with several polymer-to-silver ratios P:Ag+ were prepared in order to evaluate the influence of silver loading.
