Modulation of the deswelling temperature of thermoresponsive microgel films

We demonstrate fine-tuning of the deswelling temperatures of thermoresponsive microgels within a biologically relevant range (30-40 °C). This was achieved by copolymerizing N-isopropylacrylamide and N-isopropylmethacrylamide (NIPAm and NIPMAm, respectively) in varying ratios; the parent homopolymers...
