“…Besides, it shows phase transition temperature (LCST) at around 31°C which is close to body temperature (Hermann et al, 2014). Nevertheless, its mechanical strength is inadequate, and thereby crucial efforts have been devoted to improve its mechanical properties (Nuntahirun et al, 2017). NIPAM has been copolymerized and graft copolymerized with many polymers, such as cellulose nanowhiskers (Hebeish et al, 2014), Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (Hermann et al, 2014;Kangwansupamonkon et al, 2005), chitosan derivative (Ifuku et al, 2013), poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (Jin et al, 2008), Poly(ethylene oxide) (Qin et al, 2006), ethyl cellulose (Kang et al, 2013), glutaraldehyde (GTA) cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA), and Deproteinized natural rubber (Zhao et al, 2023).…”
