Temperature-sensitive poly(N-isopropyl-acrylamide) microgel particles: a light scattering study.
We present a light scattering study of aqueous suspensions of microgel particles consisting of poly(N-Isopropyl-Acrylamide) cross-linked gels. The solvent quality for the particles depends on temperature and thus allows tuning of the particle size. The particle synthesis parameters are chosen such that the resulting high surface charge of the particles prevents aggregation even in the maximally...
متن کاملDensity profiles of temperature-sensitive microgel particles.
We have performed small angle neutron scattering measurements (SANS) on dilute aqueous dispersions of polymer microgel particles as a function of temperature, T . The microgel particles are spherical crosslinked assemblies of a loose gel network of a poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) polymer. When the temperature is raised beyond a critical temperature, T(lc) approximately 32 degrees C , the p...
متن کاملAssessment of cytotoxicity of (N-isopropyl acrylamide) and Poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)-coated surfaces
Poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (pNIPAM) is one of the most popular stimulus-responsive polymers for research. It is especially of great interest in the field of tissue engineering. While it is known that the NIPAM monomer is toxic, there is little conclusive research on the cytotoxicity of the polymer. In this work, the relative biocompatibility of the NIPAM monomer, pNIPAM, and pNIPAM-coated sub...
متن کاملLight scattering by aggregate particles
We have investigated scattering properties of aggregates, emphasizing the size of constituent monomers comparable with the wavelength of visible light, in order to model the scattering properties of cometary dust. This has differentiated our study from previous investigations of aggregates in which the size of the monomers was much smaller than the wavelength. For aggregates, the absorption cro...
متن کاملTemperature dependent activity and structure of adsorbed proteins on plasma polymerized N-isopropyl acrylamide.
Thorough studies of protein interactions with stimulus responsive polymers are necessary to provide a better understanding of their applications in biosensors and biomaterials. In this study, protein behavior on a thermoresponsive polymer surface, plasma polymerized N-isopropyl acrylamide (ppNIPAM), is investigated using multiple characterization techniques above and below its lower critical so...
