Abstract
A copolymer gel prepared from N-isopropyl-acrylamide (NIPA) and vinylf errocene (VF) exhibits volume phase transition. The phase transition c an be controlled electrochemically, and electrochemical behavior of th e gel can be controlled thermally. A copolymer of NIPA and VF, which i s not crosslinked, also possesses similar characteristics. Those polym er and gel can be applied to enzyme electrodes. (C) 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
