Volume 9, Issue 12 , December 2018, Pages 872-875

https://doi.org/10.5185/amlett.2018.2128

Abstract
  We evaluated the effect of adding a small amount of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), which is a temperature-sensitive polymer, on the glass transition temperature (Tg) of poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc). The Tg of a blend comprising 5wt.% PNIPAM was affected by the ambient temperature; the Tg was low ...  Read More
