Comparison of Thermoresponsive Hydrogels Synthesized by Conventional Free Radical and RAFT Polymerization

Comparison of Thermoresponsive Hydrogels Synthesized by Conventional Free Radical and RAFT Polymerization

We compared the influence of the polymerization mechanism onto the physical characteristics of thermoresponsive hydrogels. The Poly(<i>N</i>-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) hydrogels were successfully synthesized using reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) and free radic...
