Unexpected Temperature-Dependent Single Chain Mechanics of Poly(N-isopropyl-acrylamide) in Water

Poly­(N-isopropyl-acrylamide) (PNIPAM) is a paradigm thermally sensitive polymer, which has a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of ∼32 °C in water. Herein by AFM-based single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS), we measured the single chain elasticity of PNIPAM across the LCST in water. Belo...
