Περίληψη:	It was recently reported that poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAm) polymers synthesized by RAFT polymerization using S-1-dodecyl-S′-(α,α′-dimethyl-α′′-acetic acid)trithiocarbonate as a chain transfer agent form micelles in aqueous solutions with the core of hydrophobic terminal dodecyl groups and the corona of PNIPAm chains with carboxylic groups at the periphery, the ionization of which prevents the micelles from phase separation above the lower critical solution temperature of PNIPAm in water (Langmuir 30:7986–7992). In this paper, we study the pH- and ionic strength-dependence of the aggregation behavior of two HOOC-PNIPAm-C12 polymers, differing in the degree of polymerization, in aqueous solutions. We show that the cloud point temperature (CPT) of HOOC-PNIPAm-C12 can be shifted up to several tens of K by changing pH of the solution. The aggregation of the PNIPAms above the CPT can be efficiently accelerated by screening electrostatic repulsion between PNIPAm micelles by changing ionic strength of the solution.
