Summary
A poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-coated glass was prepared and its interfacial electrokinetic properties were studied with a special emphasis on the phase transition behavior of the hydrogel. The electro-osmotic flow velocity was measured on the hydrogel surface immersed in an electrolyte solution at pH 7.4 as a function of temperature and ionic strength. The data were analyzed with an electrokinetic theory for “soft” surfaces to determine the charge density (zN) and the softness parameter (1/λ) of the hydrogel layer. The charge density (zN) and the softness parameter (1/λ) obtained have been well explained the volume change of the hydrogel.
