Nanocrystalline cellulose grafted random copolymers of N-isopropylacrylamide and acrylic acid synthesized by RAFT polymerization: effect of different acrylic acid contents on LCST behavior

Abstract

NCC-attached dual-sensitive copolymers of<italic>N</italic>-isopropylacrylamide and acrylic acid (AA) with different contents of AA were synthesized by RAFT polymerization. Effect of NCC, AA content, and pH on LCST was evaluated.
