Rheological properties of aging thermosensitive suspensions [PDF]
Aging observed in soft glassy materials inherently affects the rheological properties of these systems and has been described by the soft glassy rheology (SGR) model [S. M. Fielding et al., J. Rheol. 44, 323 (2000)]. In this paper, we report the measured

Gelation of a Nanocomposite-Hydrogel System and Its Dependency on Mechanical Loads
Hydrogels are cross-linked polymer networks which are water-insoluble. They are suitable for several technical and biomedical applications due to the ability of some gels to swell and deswell as reaction to external stimuli. Such gels are synthesized and

Behavior of PNIPAM Microgels in Different Organic Solvents
In this research, we studied, in detail, the behavior of common PNIPAM microgels, obtained through surfactant-free precipitation polymerization, in a number of organic solvents.

Responsive microgels based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) exhibit peculiar behaviours due to the competition between the hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions of the constituent networks. The interpenetration of poly-acrilic acid (PAAc), a pH-

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

The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the release rates of chlorhexidine (CX) base entrapped in the polymeric beads of modified poly-N-isopropylacrylamides (pNIPAMs) at temperatures below and over the volume phase transition temperature ...

The discovery that the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) in water is affected by the tacticity opens the perspective to tune the volume phase transition temperature of PNIPAM microgels by changing the ...

Thermoresponsive poly(2-oxazoline)s, polypeptoids, and polypeptides [PDF]
This review covers the recent advances in the emerging field of thermoresponsive polyamides or polymeric amides, i.e., poly(2-oxazoline)s, polypeptoids, and polypeptides, with a specific focus on structure-thermoresponsive property relationships, self ...
