Self-healing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogels
European Polymer Journal, 2015 Abstract Substitution the covalently crosslinked polymer chains by supramolecular ones is a promising strategy to design self-healing hydrogels. Approaches for the synthesis of supramolecular poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) hydrogels with the ability to self-heal are rare because of the bulky side groups of the polymer hindering formation of ...
