Figure 5.
Variation of the storage modulus (G′; denoted by red data set) and the loss modulus (G″; denoted by blue data set) as a function of temperature (closed circles denote a 25 to 5 °C temperature sweep, and open circles denote a 5 to 25 °C temperature sweep) for a 7.5% w/w aqueous dispersion of (a) PGMA56–PHPMA144, (b) PGMA56–P(HPMA137-stat-GlyMA14), and (c) PGMA56–P(HPMA115-stat-GlyMA29) worms before cross-linking. Conditions: angular frequency = 1.0 rad s–1, applied strain = 1.0%, and rate of cooling/heating = 0.50 °C min–1.
