N-Chlorinated Poly(<i>N</i>-isopropylacrylamide) Microgels
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The treatment of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgels with aqueous bleach (NaClO) at pH 10.5 resulted in the partial conversion of the amide hydrogen to the corresponding chloramide. N-Chlorinated microgels poly(NIPAM-co-NIPAMCl) are more hydrophobic than the parent PNIPAM microgels. Thus, the volume phase transition temperature decreases with increasing chlorination. During chlorination, the microgels coagulate once they undergo a volume phase transition. The chlorination reaction stops once the microgels dehydrate and coagulate, presumably as a result of the decreased diffusion rate of the ClO(-) anion into the microgels. The microgels are reversibly dechlorinated by glutathione (GSH), first giving PNIPAM shell + poly(NIPAM-co-NIPAMCl) core microgels. Because GSH is an important redox actor in biological cells, this work suggests that chlorinated microgels may be employed to deliver active chlorine to targeted cells.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
