Formation and Stability of Smooth Thin Films with Soft Microgels Made of Poly(<i>N</i>-Isopropylacrylamide) and Poly(Acrylic Acid)

Formation and Stability of Smooth Thin Films with Soft Microgels Made of Poly(<i>N</i>-Isopropylacrylamide) and Poly(Acrylic Acid)

In this work, soft microgels of Poly(<i>N</i>-Isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) at two different sizes and of interpenetrated polymer network (IPN) composed of PNIPAm and Poly(Acrylic Acid) (PAAc) were synthesized. Then, solutions of these different types of microgels have been spin-coated o...
