Effects of synthesis-solvent polarity on the physicochemical and rheological properties of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) hydrogels

Thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) microgels were synthesized via free radical polymerization using four synthesis-solvents with varying polarity index: dioxane, tetrahydrofuran (THF), toluene, and cyclohexane. Characterization by FTIR, NMR, and XRD confirmed the chemical structur...
