(A) The retained silane/pNIPAAm blend film thickness (● and ○ symbolize APTES/pNIPAAm and BTMS/pNIPAAm, respectively) of the 3 days cured films, after cold water rinsing + 3 days soaking; and the wt.% of APTES (△) in the 3 days cured films, prepared from aged 50/50 silane/pNIPAAm solution mixtures with a total solute of 1.5 wt.%. (B) The corresponding 3 days cured silane only layer thickness (■ and □ represent APTES and BTMS, respectively) prepared from 0.75 wt.% solution. (C) the ratio of film thickness in water (or swelling ratio) at 25°C to 40°C of APTES/pNIPAAm films prepared from aged solutions. The error bar for each data point is the standard deviation of at least three measurements.
