Wang, Jing, Hurren, Christopher, Sutti, Alessandra, Lin, Tong and Wang, Xungai 2013, Thermo-responsive PNIPAM nanofibres crosslinked by OpePOSS, in Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Smart Materials and Nanotechnology in Engineering; SPIE 2013, SPIE, Bellingham, WA, pp. 1-5.
Stable and re-usable thermo-responsive hydrogel nanofibres were roduced by electrospinning poly(Nisopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) in presence of a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) possessing eight epoxide groups, and of a 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole (EMI) as a catalyst, followed by a heat curing treatment. The roles of the organic-base catalyst in the formation of crosslinked polymer network, fibre morphologies, and hydrogel properties were examined in this paper.
