TI  - Synthesis and characterization of thermally and glucose-sensitive poly 
      N-vinylcaprolactam-Based microgels.
PG  - 709-19
AB  - Temperature and glucose sensitive microgels were prepared via radical 
      precipitation polymerization, using N-vinylcaprolactam (NVCL) as the main 
      monomer, N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker, V50 as initiator and 
      4-vinylphenylboronic acid (VPBA) as a functional monomer. The LCST of homopoly 
      (NVCL) was first determined and found to be around 33 degrees C. The preparation 
      of microgels was examined as a function of crosslinker (MBA) and VPBA amount in 
      the polymerization recipe. Each polymerization was examined by considering the 
      polymerization conversion and water-soluble polymer formation. Transmission 
      electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and FT-IR characterizations 
      show that the prepared microgels are monodisperse submicron particles, thermally 
      sensitive and containing boronic acid functions. The effect of glucose on the 
      swelling ability of boronic acid containing microgel was particularly examined 
      and revealed the presence of specific interaction.
