Description

In this work, cationic and anionic microgels which are mainly formed from thermal responsive polymer, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), are prepared and mixed in water. These microgels interact with each other due to the electrostatic interaction, and aggregate voluntarily. By applying the microgel aggregating system, photo-responsive aggregating system is constructed by using o-nitrobenzaldehyde (NBA), which reacts and releases hydrogen triggered by photo stimuli. The microgel aggregates in an aqueous solution of NBA re-disperse depending on the irradiation time of UV light. In addition, by masking the UV irradiated area, the resultant shapes of microgel aggregates are controlled. The aggregated microgel shows rapid and drastic volume changes in response to heat. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2015
