Temperature-triggered capture of dispersed particles using deposited Laponite with grafted poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) chains.
A method has been developed that enables a conductive surface to be modified so as to capture dispersed particles when the temperature is increased; poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) was grafted from electrodeposited Laponite particles using surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerisation and used to capture dispersed polystyrene particles.
