Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) is never hydrophobic

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2010
PNIPAM chains have hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains below and above the LCST. Temperature dependent interactions between PNIPAM and solutes arise because of changes in the local environment around the hydrophobic isopropyl domains. Below the LCST the isopropyl groups are surrounded by water, whereas above the LCST the hydrophobic groups are in ...

Parallel Effects of Cations on PNIPAM Graft Wettability and PNIPAM Solubility

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2010
Stimuli-responsive surfaces grafted with thermoresponsive polymers switch from hydrophilic to hydrophobic thermally, making these surfaces attractive in applications such as in microfluidics devices, as antifouling surfaces, and in cell culture and tissue engineering.

Effects of stereochemistry and copolymerization on the LCST of PNIPAm

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2017
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) is a smart polymer that presents a lower critical transition temperature (LCST) of 305 K. Interestingly, this transition point falls within the range of the human body temperature, making PNIPAm a highly suitable candidate for bio-medical applications.

Synthesis and micelle behavior of (PNIPAm-PtBA-PNIPAm)m amphiphilic multiblock copolymer

Polymer, 2010
Abstract A linear amphiphilic multiblock copolymer (PNIPAm-PtBA-PNIPAm)m was successfully synthesized by a two-step reversible addition–fragmentation transfer (RAFT) polymerization in the presence of a cyclic trithiocarbonate as RAFT agent. The micelle behavior of (PNIPAm-PtBA-PNIPAm)m multiblock copolymer in aqueous solution was then investigated by
