We report the experimentally determined phase diagram for an aqueous solution of isotactic-rich poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNiPAM) composed of the sol-gel transition curve and the cloud-point curve. The meso diad content of isotactic-rich PNiPAM is 64%, and it is soluble in water at low temperatures, but undergoes a sol-to-gel transition with increasing temperature in the investigated concentration range of 1.8 wt. %-6.0 wt. %. With a further increase in temperature, the system becomes turbid. The gel formation and clouding behavior are thermally reversible. This is the first observation of thermoreversible gelation under the cloud-point temperature for an aqueous solution of PNiPAM. On the basis of the determined phase diagram, we carried out light scattering experiments to characterize the sol-gel transition behavior as a function of temperature. 2011 American Institute of Physics.
