In this paper, (chitosan-poly(methacrylic acid-co-N-isopropylacrylamide)) [Chitosan-P(MAA-co-NIPAM)], a multi-responsive hydrogel was successfully fabricated by free-radical polymerization in aqueous media. Chitosan was crosslinked with P(MAA-co-NIPAM) network as a suggestion to improve the efficien...
