Introduction of silica into thermo-responsive poly( N-isopropyl acrylamide) hydrogels: A novel approach to improve response rates

The response rates of novel thermo-responsive poly( N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) hybrid hydrogels are compared to those of conventional chemically crosslinked PNIPAM hydrogels. The former materials were obtained by applying the sol–gel technology, in which the inorganic silica particles act as p...
