Abstract
The apparent size increase of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM)-basedpolymericmicellesuponheatingwasusuallyascribed to theirvolume growth or aggregation in aqueous solution. Herein we designed a photo-cross-linkable PNIPAM-based copolymer and proposed another thermo-responsive behaviour – fusion, which is disclosed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) after in situ fixing morphologies at desired temperatures.
