Volume phase transition of NIPAM based copolymer microgels with non-thermoresponsive comonomers

Jannis Krüger,

Abstract: We analyze the swelling behavior of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM)-based microgels incorporating the non-thermoresponsive comonomer N-tert-butylacrylamide (NtBAM) using photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Previous thermodynamic analysis of PNIPAM-co-NtBAM microgel swelling relied on the classical Flory-Rehner theory. However, this approach struggled to accurately describe swelling curves at higher NtBAM content. Our present work combines the original expression for the Flory… Show more
