Effect of carbon nanotubes on free radical polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide in supercritical carbon dioxide and in methanol

- Mw of PNIPAAm polymerized in scCO2 was much higher than that in MeOH.
- CNT in scCO2 decreased yield but enhanced Mw of PNIPAAm.
- CNT in MeOH had no great effect on either yield or Mw of PNIPAAm.
