Poly(N-isopropylmethacrylamide) (PNIPMAM) is a thermoresponsive polymer which differs from the well-known PNIPAM by having an additional methyl group attached to the vinyl backbone. Thus, it may be expected to be more hydrophobic, however, its cloud point at 42°C is about 10°C higher.

In order to gain more information on the phase behaviour of PNIPMAM in dependence on temperature, pressure and concentration, we investigated the transition by DSC, the structural behaviour by temperature-resolved SANS and mapped out the pressure-dependent phase diagram using turbidimetry.

It seems that the additional methyl group stabilizes the one-phase region, even at higher pressures, which could be explained by steric hindrance.
