Abstract

In this study, hydrogels of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylamide) having a thermoresponsive character were prepared by a redox polymerization method. NIPAM-co-AAm hydrogels with different thermoresponsive properties were obtained by changing the initial NIPAM/AAm mole ratio and crosslinker concentration.
