Solution Properties of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)
M. Heskins,J. E. Guillet +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a lower critical solution temperature of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide was found to be due to an entropy effect, which was attributed to the formation of nonpolar and intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
