CO sub(2)-switchable poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) microgel-based etalons

A series of pyridine-functionalized poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)-based microgels were synthesized. Subsequently, a structured photonic device was fabricated by sandwiching the microgels between two thin Au layers, and their response to CO sub(2) investigated. We show that devices show an optical res...

Description
Summary:A series of pyridine-functionalized poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)-based microgels were synthesized. Subsequently, a structured photonic device was fabricated by sandwiching the microgels between two thin Au layers, and their response to CO sub(2) investigated. We show that devices show an optical response to CO sub(2), which is reversible over many cycles.
