General description

N-Isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) is a biocompatible monomeric unit that can be used in the formation of stimuli responsive polymers due to its temperature sensitive properties, which include temperature-based volumetric and phase changes. These properties change when the temperature of the solution reaches a lower critical solution temperature (LCST).

Application

Monomer used in the preparation of thermally sensitive, water-swellable hydrogels.
NIPAM can be used to prepare poly(NIPAM) based thermosetting polymers, which can be used for a variety of applications such as tissue engineering, cell culture, biomedical coating, drug delivery, and muscle regeneration.
