Abstract
Anomalous swelling behavior has been observed in interpenetrating polymer n etworks (IPNs) gel composed of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAIM) and p oly(acrylic acid) (PAA). Calorimetric endotherms, FT-IR (Fourier transform- infrared) spectra and compression modulus show that the molecular interacti on such as hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction serve-as a driving for ce which takes place with an anomalous swelling behavior.
