Molecular Description of the Coil-to-Globule Transition of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) in Water/Ethanol Mixture at Low Alcohol Concentration
Letizia Tavagnacco, Emanuela Zaccarelli, Ester Chiessi
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAM, is a widely studied polymer, which serves as a key constituent of nanostructured soft materials with responsive properties. Upon increasing tem…
Water-polymer coupling induces a dynamical transition in microgels
Letizia Tavagnacco, Ester Chiessi, Marco Zanatta +2
The long debated protein dynamical transition was recently found also in non-biological macromolecules, such as poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) microgels. Here, by using atomis…
On the Molecular Origin of the Cooperative Coil-to-globule Transition of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) in Water
L. Tavagnacco, E. Zaccarelli, E. Chiessi
By means of atomistic molecular dynamics simulations we investigate the behaviour of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAM, in water at temperatures below and above the lower critica…
