Poly(N-isopropylmethacrylamide) (PNIPMAM) is a thermoresponsive polymer, exhibiting lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior in aqueous solution. Compared to the well-investigated poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), which has similar chemical structure, PNIPMAM has a higher transition temperature (43 C instead of 32 C). This may be due to the presence of the additional methyl groups on the vinyl backbone, which cause steric hindrance and weaken the intramolecular interactions. We investigate the temperature- and concentration-dependent phase behavior of PNIPMAM in D2O using turbidimetry, dynamic light scattering (DLS), small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and Raman spectroscopy. The main difference from PNIPAM are inhomogeneities in the one-phase state due to physical crosslinks caused by the methyl groups.
