Precise regulation of particle size of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgels: Measuring chain dimensions with a “molecular ruler”
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS: Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgels are used extensively in the design of drug carriers, surfaces for control of cell adhesion, and optical devices. Particle size is a key factor and has a significant influence in many areas.
EXPERIMENTS: In this work, precise control of the particle size of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgels was achieved by controlling the separation distance of the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) chains. …
