Population

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (NIPA) gels having different cross-link densities

Intervention

Varying cross-link density (ratio of cross-linker concentration to monomer concentration)

Outcome

Spatial inhomogeneities and dynamic fluctuations (correlation length)surrogate

This basic science study demonstrates that static spatial inhomogeneities in NIPA gels dominate at higher cross-link densities, while dynamic fluctuations remain relatively constant.
