Preparation and Anti-Mold Properties of Nano-ZnO/Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Composite Hydrogels
Molecules, 2020 The aim of this study was to overcome drawbacks of the inhomogeneous dispersion and facile agglomeration of nano-ZnO/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) composite hydrogels (nano-ZnO/PNIPAm composite hydrogels) during synthesis and improve the anti-mold property

Thin films of PS/PS‐b‐pnipam and ps/pnipam polymer blends with tunable wettability [PDF]
Journal of Polymer Science Part B: Polymer Physics, 2019 ABSTRACTWe developed thin films of blends of polystyrene (PS) with the thermoresponsive polymer poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) (PS/PNIPAM) and its diblock copolymer polystyrene‐b‐poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PS/PS‐b‐PNIPAM) in different blend ratios, and we study their surface morphology and thermoresponsive wetting behavior.

Microfluidic devices functionalized with PNIPAM [PDF]
, 2021 In this thesis, we developed several PDMS-based microfluidic devices for emulsion generation and capillary-driven flow control. By grafting the PDMS surface with PNIPAm using UV-induced surface polymerization, we obtain a PNIPAm-g-PDMS surface with it's surface wettability that is sensitive to temperature.
