Abstract
N-Isopropylacrylamide (NIPA)/N-tert-butylacrylamide (NTBA) submicron-s ized copolymer gel particles of various compositions were prepared by precipitation polymerization and the swelling behaviors of the gels we re studied with different compositions and temperature using photon co rrelation spectroscopy (PCS). The experimental data showed that the vo lume transition temperature (T-v) of the gels varied with the amount o f monomers having different hydrophobicity added. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
