Feeling the heat: Surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization was used to modify a film of aligned carbon nanotubes with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (see TEM image). A distinct temperature responsiveness is found for both the macroscopic (wettability) and the microscopic (the diameter and rigidity of a single carbon nanotube) properties of the resulting film.
