Recognition-mediated hydrogel swelling controlled by interaction with a negative thermoresponsive LCST polymer [PDF]
Most polymeric thermoresponsive hydrogels contract upon heating beyond the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the polymers used. Herein, we report a supramolecular hydrogel system that shows the opposite temperature dependence.
