Structure determination of microcapsules with advanced temperature responsive behavior
Nanocapsules are of special interest in the field of colloidal science. When synthesized from a thermoresponsive polymer like poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) a thermally induced uptake and release mechanism is imaginable. We performed the first small angle neutron scattering experiments including contrast variation measurements to investigate the structure of this unique species. Now we aim for advanced properties by introducing a second thermoresponsive polymer, namely poly(N-isopropylmethacrylamide) (PNIPMAM). Not only the different polymer type, but also the architecture in which both polymers are combined in the shell might have an influence on the capsule properties. Therefore we want to investigate capsules with a double-shell structure and a classical copolymer shell and compare these results with the homopolymer analogues.
