Highly-branched poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)s with core–shell morphology below the lower critical solution temperature

Abstract

Dilute poly(<italic>N</italic>-isopropyl acrylamide)s pass through a coil-to-globule transitions. Some hyperbranched compositions have biphasic core–shell morphologies with globular cores and open coil shells dependent on the degree of branching.
