| Abstract | Three amino acid derivatives, GI, AI and VI resulted from the corresponding isobutyryl chloride modified Gly, Ala and Val, were each conjugated with some of the hydroxyl groups of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) through a one-step esterification reaction, resulting in PVA-GI, PVA-AI and PVA-VI, respectively. FTIR and 1H NMR verified the successful conjugation of these amino-acid derivative units onto PVA. X-ray diffraction characterization demonstrated that the introduction of these units led to a decrease in the degree of crystallinity. Turbidity measurement showed that GI, AI and VI were all effective molecular units to make such PVA-derivatives thermoresponsive, and the phase transition temperature could be modulated in a wide range by varying the degree of substitution or altering the type of amino-acid derivative. The efficiency of these three molecular units to make PVA thermoresponsive was as follows: VI > AI ∼ GI. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurement demonstrated that these thermoresponsive PVA derivatives experienced a conformation transition from the loose coil to the compact and crumbled state, till the aggregated state was attained following the temperature increase. Such thermoresponsive PVA derivatives were good dispersing agents for colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in water when enough polymers were used. A core–shell structure was proved by DLS and TEM measurements where the AuNP was covered by a thick organic shell formed by the thermoresponsive PVA derivatives. Turbidity measurement showed that the composites of such PVA derivatives and AuNPs were also thermoresponsive, and they had a little lower phase transition temperature than those of the corresponding neat thermoresponsive PVA derivatives. DLS measurement demonstrated that such thermoresponsive AuNP composites experienced a shell shrinkage and subsequent aggregation of nanoparticles during the temperature increase. Moreover, AuNPs stabilized by such thermoresponsive PVA derivatives showed better salt-resistance than those stabilized by neat PVAs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
