Polymer phase change microcapsules were prepared through microwave-assisted emulsion polymerization, with the core of hexadecane, the shell of styrene, the emulsifier of sodium dodecyl sulfate, the initiator of potassium persulfate. A few of key factors which can influence the thermal performance and the encapsulation, such as emulsifiers, initiators, temperature and reaction time were investigated. FTIR and DSC were employed to characterize the structure, the phase transition temperature and latent heat.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, a novel quantum dot (QD) based nanomaterial system is presented for efficient FRET analysis. The quantum dots have been embedded in hydrogel microspheres based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) a thermoresponsive polymer that undergoes a volume phase transition across the low critical solution (LCST). The optical properties of the quantum dots entrapped within the gel microspheres has been modified due to change in refractive index, volume density of the surrounding hydrogel medium. The QDs encapsulated in the PNIPAM microspheres showed 100–200 % enhancement in the PL efficiency as the microgels shrank at the temperature above the LCST temperature of the gel.

Herein, we found that the phase transition behaviour from swelling state to deswelling state in response to temperature change was electrically detected in real time by using the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-grafted gate field effect transistor.

The study of a ternary solution involving a thermoresponsive polymer, a thermoresponsive ionic liquid (IL), and a solvent will not only help with interpreting their distinct phase transition behavior, but also promote the development of novel thermoresponsive systems.

ABSTRACTA synthetic strategy to couple selectively an ionic complementary thiol modified octapeptide, that is able to gel at low temperature, to the thermoresponsive polymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAAm) with controlled molecular weight and narrow polydispersity is described. The polymer was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) affording halogen functionalized chain ends. This allowed subsequent coupling to a thiol terminated ionic complementary octapeptide via nucleophile substitution. Results indicated that the peptide was covalently attached to the polymer and that both the coil-globule phase transition of pNIPAAm and the gelation properties of the peptide were retained in the conjugated product. This method provides a versatile route for the synthesis of a range of bioconjugate materials with controlled architecture and dual self-assembling and thermoresponsive behavior.
