Upper critical solution temperature thermo-responsive polymer brushes and a mechanism for controlled cell attachment

We report the synthesis of thermo-responsive polymer brushes with Upper Critical Solution Temperature (UCST)-type behaviour on glass to provide a new means to control cell attachment. Thermoresponsive poly(N-acryloyl glycinamide)-stat-poly(N-phenylacrylamide) (PNAGAm-PNPhAm) brushes with three diffe...
