Synthese van poly (<em> N</em> -isopropylacrylamide) Janus Microhydrogels voor Anisotropisch Thermo-responsiviteit en Organofiele / Hydrofiel Loading Capability

We present a protocol to synthesize Janus microhydrogels composed entirely of the same base material, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm), with a clearly compartmentalized structure base on the phase separation of a supersaturated NIPAAm monomer solution. The synthesized Janus microhydrogels show unique properties such as anisotropic thermo-responsiveness and organophilic/hydrophilic loading capability.
