Abstract

A novel nanocomposite hydrogel with controllable multiple thermosensitivity has been synthesized by introducing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) into clay/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) nanocomposite hydrogel, which exhibits double thermosensitive phase transition: a UCST and a LCST spontaneously.
