The effect of hydration in corona layer on temperature responsiveness of polymer micelles consisting of poly(<i>N</i>-vinyl pyrrolidone)-<i>block</i>-poly(<i>n</i>-octadecyl acrylate) (PVP-<i>b</i>-PODA) was investigated. Small-angle X-ray scattering and dynamic light scattering showed two-step shape change of PVP-<i>b</i>-PODA micelles around 45 and 65 °C with elevating temperature, although only one-step shape change was observed at 45 °C in cooling process. In the first step, shape of PVP-<i> ...[more]
