Studies on LCST of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid-co-N-diacetone acrylamide)

Abstract Linear copolymers from N -isopropylacrylamide (NIPA), acrylic acid (AA) and diacetone acrylamide (DAA) have been prepared. The effect of composition, ionic strength and pH on their lower critical solution temperature (LCST) has been investigated.
