Gel Formation and Characterization of Clay–[Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)] Nanocomposites with Some Clay Minerals Prepared by Photopolymerization

Nanocomposites consisting of clay and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) were synthesized by photopolymerization using several clay minerals. Uniform hydrogels were obtained by adding saponite-,...
