Abstract

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) gels, crosslinked by tris-methacrylated derivatives of phloroglucinol, were prepared. The gels did not exhibit large water absorption, but absorbed a large amount of ethanol and acetic acid. When the gels, swollen with ethanol and acetic acid, were placed in water at 40 °C, they quickly shrank.
