Article Title: PEGylated NiPAM microgels: synthesis, characterization and colloidal stability.

doi: 10.1039/c8sm02156b

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 1 (a) 1H NMR spectrum of MG-1 in DMSO-d6 at 25 1C and corres- ponding chemical structure. (b) Efficiency of the PEG macromonomer incorporation into the NiPAM-based microgel. Correlation between the microgel composition (mol%) and the batch synthesis ratio of PEG chains to NiPAM repeat units. The PEG to NiPAM molar ratios have been determined by 1H NMR. The solid line (green) represents a theoretical 100% incorporation efficiency.
