In this paper, we report on the comprehensive alcohol-/ion-responsive properties of a smart copolymer poly(N- isopropylacry]amide-co-benzo-18-crown-6-acrylamide) (P(NIPAM-co-BCAm)). The orthogonal design method ...
Acrylonitrile (AN) was copolymerized with N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) to synthesize thermosensitive hy-drogels, and the on-off switch behavior of poly(NIPA-co-AN) hydrogels with different fraction of hydrophobic comp...
