Abstract: PNIPAM (poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)), a well-studied thermo-responsive polymer, undergoes conformational transition around 32 °C. On the other hand, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), as a promising and biocompatible material, has rarely been introduced to the PNIPAM-based fibrous hydrogel system.… read more here.
