Self-Assembly of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Microgel Thin Films

The assembly of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (pNIPAm-co-AAc) microgel thin films into disordered and ordered arrays was investigated. Disordered pNIPAm-co-AAc microgel arrays were assembled based on electrostatic attractions between polyanionic pNIPAm-co-AAc microgels and polycationic...
