Volume Phase Transitions in Surface-Tethered, Photo-Cross-Linked Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Networks

Volume Phase Transitions in Surface-Tethered, Photo-Cross-Linked Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Networks

The overall thrust of this dissertation is to gain a comprehensive understanding over the factors that govern the performance and behavior of ultra-thin, cross-linked polymer films. Poly(NIPAAm) was used as a model polymer to study volume phase transition in surface tethered networks. Poly(NIPAAm) u...
