Controlling the LCST-Phase Transition in Azobenzene-Functionalized Poly (<i>N</i>-Isopropylacrlyamide) Hydrogels by Light
Poly(<i>N</i>-isopropylacrylamide) PNIPAAm hydrogels were modified with a new azobenzene-containing co-monomer. In this work, light responsiveness as an additional functionality, is conceptualized to induce two phase transitions in the same material, which can be controlled by light. For...
