Color-Tunable Etalons Assembled from Poly (N-Isopropylacrylamide) Based Microgels
Photonic materials (PMs) that are capable of manipulating and controlling light in systems have immense potential for the computing and communications industries. These materials are formed by assembling components of differing refractive indices in a periodic array. Light then interacts with this assembly, which results in constructive and destructive interference, and hence color. While many ...
متن کاملControlling the response of color tunable poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgel-based etalons with hysteresis.
We present the hysteresis of the response of the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylic acid microgel-based etalons to solution temperature and pH changes. We find that the optical hysteresis of the etalon can be controlled using various solution ionic strengths and/or counterions, as well as by varying the microgel's acrylic acid concentration.
متن کاملPoly (N-Isopropylacrylamide) Microgel-Based Etalons for Optical Sensing
Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) is one of the most completely studied “smart” polymers due to its unique reversible thermoresponsivity.That is, when pNIPAm in water is heated > ~31°C, it transits from a random coil to a globule conformation; this transition is reversed when T < ~31°C. This conformational change is accompanied by water exchange process. When pNIPAm undergoes the coil to gl...
متن کاملSustained release of naltrexone from poly(n-isopropylacrylamide) microgels.
The release of the opioid antagonist naltrexone from neutral poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAM) microgels and negatively charged PNIPAAM microgels containing acrylic acid groups (PNIPAAM-co-PAA) has been studied at various microgel and drug concentrations. The release curves were found to be well represented by the Weibull equation. The release rates were observed to be dependent on the micr...
متن کاملThermosensitive Microgels of Poly-n-isopropylacrylamide for Drug Carriers--practical Approach to Synthesis.
The aim of the work is to present the main actual information on the preparation of polymers, derivatives of N-isopropylacrylamide, formed into microgels. The most often used comonomers, crosslinkers, and initiator systems are gathered herein. The known methods of emulsion polymerization and precipitation polymerization are also described, including the application of the surfactants, as well a...
