Dual Temperature and Metal Salts-Responsive Interpenetrating Polymer Networks Composed of Poly (<i>N</i>-isopropylacrylamide) and Polyethylene Glycol

Novel interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) composed of poly(<i>N</i>-isopropylacrylamide) (poly-NIPAM) and polyethers—namely, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and poly(tetramethylene oxide)—were synthesized in the absence and presence of polysiloxane containing a silanol residue. Gelation w...
