Abstract

Microgel particles composed of Interpenetrated Polymer Networks (IPN) of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc) dispersed in water have been investigated through dynamic light scattering. The study of the temperature, concentration and pH dependence of the relaxation time has highlighted the existence of a thermoreversible transition corresponding to the swollen-shrunken volume phase transition. The presence of PAAc introduces an additional pH-sensitivity with respect to the temperature-sensitivity due to PNIPAM and leads to interesting differences in the transition process at acid and neutral pH.
