An anthracene-functionalized thermosensitive block copolymer was synthesized, which formed micelles by heating its aqueous solution above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST). The micelles were subsequently crosslinked by UV illumination at 365 nm with a normal handheld UV lamp.

The grafted hydrogels of N-isopropylacrylamide (IPAAm) with 2-hydroxyethylacrylate (HEA) was prepared in an aqueous solution using ammonium persulfate (APS) and N,N,N’,N’-tetramethylethylene diamine (TEMED) as an accelerator. Lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and swelling ratios were measured as a function of temperature. The properties of the hydrogels contained pyrenyl probe in water were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy.

The gelation of a hydrophobically modified hyaluronic acid aqueous solution which shows a lower critical solution temperature of about 25 °C was investigated by multi-particle tracking microrheology.
