Structural Insights into Polymethacrylamide-Based LCST Polymers in Solution: A Small-Angle Neutron Scattering Study

Copolymerization is a powerful method that offers access to new polymer materials with a tailored response to external stimuli like temperature and pH. Polymers with a lower critical solution temperature are well known to undergo a coil-to-globule transition when the temperature is raised above the transition temperature. In particular, for copolymers, complex inter- and intrachain interactions may complicate this simple picture of a...
