Interpenetrating Polymer Networks Microgels:structure andproperties in experiment and computer simulations

摘要

Stimuli-responsive polymer microgels have proven to be conventional objects suited tocreate functional materials-superabsorbents,carriers for drugs and dyes,etc.Theadvantages of using microgels instead of macrogels are the shorter response times toexternal stimuli and opportunities for managing the internal structure and mechanicalproperties of the material.The main goal of the conducted work was the study of microgelsbased on interpenetrating networks (IPN),namely,the development of new approaches tothe synthesis of IPN-microgels and obtaining on their basis functional thermal andpH-sensitive films and coatings.
