Hello all
I am currently working on developing a nanocomposite with thermoresponsive polymers. I would like to study the thermoresponsiveness of the nanocomposite. How can I study the LCST of the formulated nanocomposite?
Thank you
Dear M.Tamil Mani Subi, is a PNIPAM based nanocomposite? It is the most widely investigated substrate for thermoresponsive character. Please have a look at the following documents. My Regards

Thank you, Abdelkader BOUAZIZ, for your answer. I will look into the papers. My nanocomposite is made of biopolymers such as chitosan.
No thabks, it is clear that the polymer should be intrinsically thermoresponsive, unless extra modification are to be imparted. Chitosan has a LCST near 32°C. Please have a look at the attached file. My Regards
