“Mechanical and structural instabilities around the demixing transition of PNIPAM solutions”
Abstract:
Certain thermo-responsive polymer solutions possess a demixing transition, which is of the lower critical solution temperature type. This phase transition is particularly sharp in case of aqueous poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) solutions. Upon heating a homogeneous PNIPAM solution acros…
