A series of pH-thermoreversible hydrogels are prepared from the three molar ratios of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) and acrylic acid neutralized 50 mol % by sodium hydroxide (SA50) and N,NЈ-methylene bisacrylamide (NMBA). The influence of the environmental conditions, such as temperature and pH val

Abstract
Poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide‐co‐sodium acrylate) [poly(NIPAM‐co‐SA)] hydrogels were modified with three different kind of surfactants (cationic, anionic, and nonionic) to study the effect on the swelling properties. The structural variation of the surfactant‐modified hydrogels was investigated in detail. The interaction between the surfactants and the hydrogel varies and strictly depends on the surfactant type. The variation in thermal stability of the modified surfactant hydrogels was investigated and compared with unmodified hydrogel. Further, the hydrogel swelling/diffusion kinetic parameters were investigated and diffusion of water into hydrogel was found to be of the non‐Fickian transport mechanism. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) has been used to study the nanostructures of complexes formed by slightly crosslinked anionic copolymer gels of poly(sodium methacrylate-co-N-isopropylacrylamide) [P(MAA/NI-PAM)] interacting with cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB), and alkyltrimethylammonium bromide (C
Monodisperse poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) hydrogel microspheres were prepared by a membrane emulsification method using membranes of pore diameters of 0.33, 0.73, 1.15, and 1.70 µm. The hydrogels were synthesized by polymerization of 3.6 M N-isopropylacrylamide (N-IPAAm or NIPAM) and
