Serpe, Michael J., Xu, Wenwen, Gao, Yongfeng
Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (pNIPAm-co-AAc) microgel-based free-standing etalons have been developed by fabricating etalons on a solid support that has been coated with a sacrificial polymer layer. Therefore, the etalon could be easily removed from the solid substrate upon...

Towards a Better Understanding of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Microgel-Based Etalons and their Continued Development in Diagnostics
DownloadFall 2013
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) microgel-based etalons are photonic materials that exhibit color based on temperature or other environmental stimuli. These materials provide a new and unique method for biosensing and other applications. Therefore it is important to understand these materials...
