General description

Random copolymer of N-isopropylacrylamide with 12 mole % butylacrylate. This copolymer shows LCST at 15 C (lower temperature than PolyNIPAM).

Application

Thermosensitive polymer; can be used to form a hydrogel. Aqueous polymer solution undergoes a phase transition from a soluble to an insoluble state when the temperature is raised to ca. 15 °C.

Biomer/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)/[poly(NiPAAm)] thermosensitive polymer blends were prepared and their application as heparin-releasing polymer coatings for the prevention of surface-induced thrombosis was examined. The advantage of using poly (NiPAAm)-based coatings as heparin-releasing polymers is based on the unique temperature-dependent swelling of these

There are many potential applications of 'intelligent' aqueous polymer systems in medicine, biotechnology, industry and in environmental problems. Many of these polymer systems undergo reversible phase transitions--for example, abrupt changes in volume--in response to external stimuli such as temperature, pH
