Optimizing PNIPAAm Hydrogel Photopatterning by iwend1678 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This technical note discusses optimizing the photopatterning of PNIPAAm hydrogels by controlling oxygen content and the UV light source used during photopolymerization. The homogeneity of PNIPAAm hydrogel polymerization was investigated using different oxygen levels during preparation and two types of UV sources - a wide-band mercury lamp and a narrow-band source. Strictly inert preparation in a glove box led to more consistent polymerization than atmospheric handling. The wide-band UV source also produced
