Robust poly(allylamine)-graft-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) particles prepared by physical crosslinking with poly(styrene sulfonate)
Robust thermosensitive PAH-g-PNIPAAm/PSS particles were prepared by addition of a poly(allylamine)-graft-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) particle suspension into poly(styrene sulfonate) solution above the LCST of PAH-g-PNIPAAm. Scanning force microscopy revealed stable and well-separated particles in water at room temperature. The zeta-potential showed a negative surface charge of the particles. Their thermosensitive behavior was demonstrated by dynamic light scattering. The release of rhodamine 6G loaded particles could respond to the incubation temperature.
