An Investigation of Poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide) for Applications with Microfluidic Paper-Based Analytical Devices
… poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), also known as P(NIPAM), was developed as a fluid delivery system for use with microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (microPADs). MicroPADs are postage-stamp-sized devices made out of paper that can be used as platforms for low-cost, simple-to-use …

Synthesis, physico-chemical properties and potential applications of colloidal gel particles
Four new N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) based particles have been synthesized and characterized. The first experimental chapter reports that fluorescent poly(Nisopropylacrylamide-co-5% vinyl cinnamate) microgels were deposited on different solid surfaces to produce new environmental responsive …

Exploring new materials for caloric cooling
… smart polymer, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) [p(NIPAM)], and its acidic functional derivative, by using changes in solvent concentrations and pH to drive a first-order conformational phase transition. The caloric responses from these previously unexplored caloric driving fields, herein termed …
