Enhancing microalgal biomass harvesting efficiency using thermoresponsive polymers
… principles and potential applications of thermoresponsive polymers (TRPs) for the harvesting of microalgae. Variants of PNIPAM were synthesized, and the impacts of charge, molecular weight, amine content, and polymer concentration on the phase transition temperature and degree of phase …

Advancing the field of polypeptoids through the synthesis of novel architectures and thermoresponsive polymers
Peptidomimetic polymers are an emerging class of polymers that are structurally related to polypeptides. Due to their structural similarities, these polymers can be used to study some of the physical aspects of polypeptides (for example, protein folding). They are also increasingly being used in …

Responsive polymers for optical sensing applications
LCST-type synthetic thermoresponsive polymers can reversibly respond to certain stimuli in aqueous media with a massive change of their physical state. When fluorophores, that are sensitive to such changes, are incorporated into the polymeric structure, the response can be translated into a …

Linear and Cross-linked UCST-Type Polymers : Synthesis and Properties
Thermoresponsive polymers are well studied and applied in both scientific and industrial areas. Among them, polymers with lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type thermoresponsivity were extensively investigated. However, in some applications polymers with upper critical solution temperature …

Twofold switchable block copolymers based on new polyzwitterions
… salt solutions. These poly(sulfobetaine)s show thermoresponsive behavior in water, exhibiting upper critical solution temperatures (UCST). Phase transition temperatures depend notably on the molar mass and polymer concentration, and are much higher in D2O than in H2O. Also, the phase transition …
