摘要：

Various thermally responsive polymers and their derivatives form colloidally stable nanosized particles upon heating of their aqueous solutions. A compilation of the types of polymers reported to exhibit this behaviour is presented in this review, including poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), poly(N-vinylcaprolactam), and poly(vinyl methylether) together with their copolymers with either hydrophobic or hydrophilic monomers. in all cases experimental evidence is presented, together with various theoretical models. Possible mechanisms responsible for the stabilisation of these colloids are discussed.
