Abstract
To tune the volume phase transition of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm)-based hydrogels, the chemical structure of the hydrogels is modified. A shift in the transition temperature, stepwise transition over a wide temperature range, and large thermal hysteresis for the crosslinked hydrogels could be achieved by copolymerization with hydrophobic or hydrophilic comonomers, preparation of multi-component compositions, and grafting PNIPAm onto methylcellulose, respectively.
