Synthesis of core-shell poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted silica nanoparticles by distillation precipitation polymerization

In this work PNIPAAm was grafted on acrylate modified silica nanoparticles by distillation precipitation polymerization method. The modified silica nanoparticles were prepared by one-pot synthesis/modification method starting by tetraethylorthosilicate TEOS and 3-(methacryloyloxy)propyltrimethoxysilane MPS.
