Application of Self-Consistent Field Theory to Model the Temperature Response of Tethered Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Chains

Aqueous solutions of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) exhibit lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior near 32C. This phenomenon can be exploited to control the release of proteins or cells from PNIPAM modified surfaces with small changes in temperature. Tethered PNIPAM was synthesize...
