Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) is a temperature-responsive polymer that exhibits a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase transition. On the chain level, this behavior stems from a ...

The word polymer is derived from the Greek root poly-, meaning many, and mer, meaning part or segment. Many of the same units (or mers) are connected together to form a long chain or polymer. Because ...

Throughout most of the pages on this web site we will predominately use the term "controlled" to describe the reactions discussed since the objective of the experiments is to "control" one or more ...
