General description

N-Vinylcaprolactam (NVCL) is an organo-soluble amphiphilic material that is soluble in solvents like benzene, isobutanol, and isopropanol. It can be used in the preparation of poly(NVCL) by free-radical polymerization at a temperature higher than its melting point.

Application

NVCL forms a temperature responsive polymer, which can be used for a variety of biomedical applications.

In this study, temperature-dependent FTIR spectroscopy in combination with the perturbation-correlation moving-window (PCMW2D) technique and generalized two-dimensional (2D) correlation analysis was applied to investigate the phase transition mechanism of poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PVCL) hydrogel upon heating. In the conventional 1D FTIR spectra
