Abstract

We report the unique thermoresponsive properties of fluorinated polyacrylamides, poly[N-(2,2-difluoroethyl)acrylamide] (P2F). The solubility of fluorinated polyacrylamides in water can be easily controlled by changing the number of fluorine atoms in N-ethyl groups. Moreover, we demonstrate that fluorinated polyacrylamides are less cytotoxic than poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM).
