| Abstract | N-Acryloyl-N′-propylpiperazine (AcrNPP) and 2-ethoxyethyl methacrylate (EEMA) monomers were copolymerized to form random stimuli-responsive p(AcrNPP/EEMA) copolymers in a form of colloidal dispersions which upon coalesce form uniform films. The presence of AcrNPP units facilitates temperature and pH responsiveness, thus resulting in composition-dependent and pH–temperature sensitive endothermic transitions: the glass (Tg) and stimuli-responsive (TSR) transitions. These studies show that the relationship between the newly discovered TSR and known Tg relaxations can be predicted by the following formula: 1/TSR = [Tg1 × Tg2 × (Tbinary − T)]/[Tbinary × T × (Tg1 − Tg2) × Tg] + (Tg1 × T − Tbinary × Tg2)/[Tbinary × T × (Tg1 − Tg2)], where TSR is the stimuli-responsive transition temperature, Tg is the glass transition temperature of the copolymer; Tbinary is the temperature of stimuli-responsive homopolymer in a binary polymer–water equilibrium, Tg1 and Tg2 are the glass transition temperatures of stimuli-responsive and non-stimuli-responsive homopolymers, respectively, and T is the film formation temperature. Experimental spectroscopic and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) evidence showed that dipole–dipole interactions are responsible for the molecular changes at the TSR for a non-protonated state, and the shift of the TSR under protonated conditions is attributed to the synergistic pH and temperature effects associated with H-bonding and conformational backbone and side chain rearrangements. Computer simulations also showed that the buckling of the copolymer backbone and collapse of propylpiperazine groups occur above TSR. The total energies (ΔEtotal) of the TSR transitions for protonated and non-protonated states are 159 and 132 kcal mol−1, respectively, and are in good agreement with the energy values determined experimentally (DSC). |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
