Unconventional Transitions of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) upon Heating in the Presence of Multiple Noncovalent Interactions

摘要: The reversible coil-to-globule transition of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) in aqueous solution is a tenet the physics polymers. However, most studies have been limited on induced only by variation hydrogen bonds. How and what coil structure will develop into are unclear presence other noncovalent bindings besides Here we introduce anion–dipole system bonds hydrophobic interactions first observed that variant temperature responses could make unconventionally restructure micelles, nanorods, vesicles, etc., but not globule-like structure.
