Abstract

In this study, we synthesized copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) by photoreduction method at room temperature. The synthesized Cu NP/PNIPAM solution of dark red changed to cloudy red at 27 °C by thermal response of PNIPAM. The thermoresponsive behavior of Cu NP/PNIPAM was also caused by visible light irradiation because Cu NPs gained thermal energy through plasmonic heating. This study would be contributed to the development of the plasmonic heating using Cu NPs.
