A series of pyridine-functionalized poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)- based microgels were synthesized. Subsequently, a structured photonic device was fabricated by sandwiching the microgels between two thin Au layers, and their response to CO2 investigated. We show that devices show an optical...

Li, Wenxiang, Hu, Liang, Zhu, Jinghua, Li, Dan, Luan, Yafei, Xu, Wenwen, Serpe, Michael J.
In this submission, the phase transition behavior for poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (pNIPAm-co-AAc) microgels and their assemblies was investigated as a function of temperature and pH using UV–vis spectroscopy (to probe light scattering behavior) and quartz crystal microbalance with...

Gao, Yongfeng, Zago, Gustavo P., Jia, Zhanghu, Serpe, Michael J.
A device composed of a poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylic acid (pNIPAm-co-AAc) microgel layer sandwiched between two thin Au layers (all on a glass support) was used as a novel platform for controlled and triggered small molecule delivery. Tris (4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)methylium chloride...

Gao, Yongfeng, Ahiabu, Andrews, Serpe, Michael J.
In this submission, two independent sets of microgels were synthesized that exhibit pH responsivity over different solution pH ranges. The microgels were synthesized by copolymerizing two different comonomers with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm). The microgels copolymerized with acrylic acid...

A device constructed by sandwiching a thin film of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylic acid (pNIPAmco-AAc) microgels between two thin layers of Au (all on a glass support) was used as a novel platform for controlled release of small molecules (drugs). In this submission, the model drug tris...

Xu, Wenwen, Zhang, Y., Gao, Yongfeng, Serpe, Michael J.
A monolithic layer of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) microgels was deposited on an Au electrode and used for electrically triggered release of the small molecule crystal violet (CV), which was used as a model drug. CV was loaded into the surface-bound microgels by exposing them to a...

In this submission, pH responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)–based microgels were used to fabricate optical devices (etalons). We demonstrate that the optical properties of the etalons could be manipulated upon the application of an appropriate electric potential between the etalon and a counter...

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...

Klassen, John S., Yao, Yuyu, Kitova, Elena N., Richards, Michele R.
The results of an investigation into the influence of sulfolane, a commonly used supercharging agent, on electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) measurements of protein–ligand affinities are described. Binding measurements carried out on four protein–carbohydrate complexes, lysozyme...
