Method of forming thermoresponsive polymers

Abstract:

A method of forming a thermoresponsive polymer. The method proceeds by mixing 2-(3-(4-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-2-yl)ureido)ethyl methacrylate and methacrylamide in the presence of a solvent form a monomer solution. An initiator is then added to the monomer solution to form a thermoresponsive polymer.
