Changes in a microscopic structure of an anionic poly(N-isopropyjacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) microgel were investigated using small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS): The scattering profiles of the microgels were analyzed in a wide scattering vector (q) range of 0.07 <= q/nm(-1) <= 20. In particular, the microscopic structure of the microgel in the presence of a cationic dye rhodamine 6G (R6G) was Characterized in terms of its correlation length (xi), which represents the length scale of the spatial correlation of the network density fluctuations, and characteristic distance.(d*), which originated from the local packing of isopropyl groups of two neighboring chains. In the presence of. cationic R6G, xi exhibited a divergent-like behavior, which was not seen in:the absence of R6G, and d* Was decreased with decreasing the volume of the microgel upon increasing temperature. At the same time, the amount of R6G adsorbed per unit mass of the microgel increased upon heating. These results suggested that a coil-to-globule transition of the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) chains in the present anionic microgel occurred because of efficiently screened, thus, short ranged electrostatic repulsion between the charged groups, and hydrophobic interaction between the isopropyl groups in the presence of cationic R6G. The combination of hydrophobic and electrostatic interaction between the cationic dye and the microgel affected the separation and volume transition behavior of the microgel.
