Gao, Yongfeng, Serpe, Michael J.
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) microgel-based etalons were used to fabricate systems that change visual color in response to light exposure. These systems were fabricated by adding pH responsive microgel-based etalons to a solution composed of the photoacid o-nitrobenzaldehyde (o-NBA). Upon...

Li, Xue, Gao, Yongfeng, Serpe, Michael J.
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) based hydrogel particles (microgels) crosslinked with N,N′-bis(acryloyl)cystamine were prepared using free-radical precipitation polymerization. By coating a single layer of microgels on a gold-coated glass substrate followed by the addition of another gold layer, an...
