Singular thermosensitivity of polymethyl methacrylate/poly-N-isopropylacrylamide conetworks prepared by a facile synthetic route

Abstract

A novel and facile route to prepare acrylic-based conetworks consisting of polymethacrylate and polyacrylamide chains is described. This method uses aminesuccinimide coupling chemistry and sequential polymerization, and it is described using NIPA and MMA monomers as model components. The thermosensitivity in water, related to the NIPA component, has been found to be very different among the conetwork and the reference network of the crosslinked random copolymer.
